Answer: C.

Explanation: The lamppost is two-thirds of the 15-foot tree, so the equation is (2/3) × 15 = 10. Calculation: (2×15)/3 = 30/3 = 10 feet.

Example of another situation: A model airplane is 1/8 the length of the real plane. If the real plane is 120 inches long, the model is (1/8) × 120 = 15 inches.
