Answer:

As per the statement:

At the grocery store kayla buys
1(1)/(3) = (4)/(3) pounds of ground Turkey.

⇒Ayla buys =
(4)/(3) pounds of ground turkey.

It is also given that Tasha buys 2 times as much ground Turkey as Kayla .

2 times as much as ground turkey as Kayla means
2 * (4)/(3) = (8)/(3) pounds.

⇒ Tasha buys ground of turkey =
(8)/(3) pounds.

Therefore,
(8)/(3) pounds ground of turkey does tasha buy.
