The construction worker bought 40 1/10 pounds of nails the first week.

The second week, he bought 2 1/2 times as many nails as the first week, which equals:

40 1/10 x 2.5 = 100 1/4 pounds

Therefore, the construction worker bought 100 1/4 pounds of nails the second week.

So, the correct answer is 100 1/4 lb.
