Answer:

She bought
(5)/(8) pounds of tuna on Friday

Explanation:

Franny brought pounds of tuna at fish market on Monday =
(1)/(4)

We are given that on Friday she bought two and a half times as much tuna bought on Monday

So, She bought pounds of tuna on Friday =
2 (1)/(2) * (1)/(4)

She bought pounds of tuna on Friday =
(5)/(2) * (1)/(4)

She bought pounds of tuna on Friday =
(5)/(8)

Hence She bought
(5)/(8) pounds of tuna on Friday
