    To set up the proportion to determine how many whole donuts Deborah will make in 5 hours, we can use the following format:
\[
\frac{\text{Donuts made}}{\text{Time in hours}} = \frac{33 \text{ donuts}}{7 \text{ hours}}
\]
Let \( x \) be the number of donuts made in 5 hours. The proportion can be written as:
\[
\frac{x}{5} = \frac{33}{7}
\]
Now, to solve for \( x \), we can cross-multiply:
\[
x \cdot 7 = 33 \cdot 5
\]
This gives us:
\[
7x = 165
\]
Now, dividing both sides by 7:
\[
x = \frac{165}{7} \approx 23.57
\]
Since Deborah can only make whole donuts, we round down to the nearest whole number:
She will make **23 whole donuts** in 5 hours.
