Answer 1

76.16 kg.

Explanation:

Although the consumption remains equivalent each day, the supply each day that is
`\mathbf{(8.33)/(7)\;kg }`

`\bf{So,per\;person\;has\;\mathbf{1.19\;kg/day}}`

`\mathbf{The\;numbers\;of\;days\;left:(7-5)=2}`

`\bf{The\;amount\;of\;food\;left\;for\;per\;head: 1.19\;kg/day*\;2\;days=2.38\;kg}`

`\bf{\therefore\;\;the\;total\;amount\;of\;food\;by\;each\person:2.38\;kg*32=76.16\;kg}`

So, the following answer is correct according to the explanation.
