Final answer:

Without specific information on Jonathan's circumstances, we can only estimate based on averages. Assuming both Jonathan and his child consume the average amount of rice as in Japan (160 grams per day), they would receive about 2.24 kilograms of rice weekly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question doesn't provide specific data on the amount of rice Jonathan and his family receive each week. To calculate the amount of rice they receive, we would need information on their consumption habits or details of any program providing them with rice. However, we can look at a relevant example: the average Japanese person, as mentioned, consumes about 160 grams of rice daily. If we assume Jonathan and his child follow this average, we can calculate their weekly rice consumption as follows:

  • Jonathan's daily consumption: 160 grams
  • Child's daily consumption (assuming same as average): 160 grams
  • Total daily consumption for both: 320 grams
  • Total weekly consumption for both: 320 grams x 7 days = 2240 grams

Converting this to kilograms (since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram):

  • Weekly rice consumption in kilograms: 2240 grams ÷ 1000 = 2.24 kilograms

Therefore, Jonathan and his family would receive approximately 2.24 kilograms of rice each week, based on the average consumption rate in Japan.
