To find out how many pounds of chocolate candy Aubrey bought, we need to calculate 5/8 of the 3/5 of a pound of candy that Aubrey purchased.

We can do this by multiplying the two fractions:

\[
\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 5} = \frac{15}{40}
\]

Simplifying the fraction:

\[
\frac{15}{40} = \frac{3}{8}
\]
