To find out how many donuts Ramon makes in 5 hours, we can first find the rate of donuts he makes per hour.

Ramon makes 33 donuts in 7 hours. To find the unit rate (donuts per hour), we divide the number of donuts by the number of hours:

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{33 \text{ donuts}}{7 \text{ hours}} \approx 4.714285714 \text{ donuts/hour} \]

Now, we need to calculate how many donuts he makes in 5 hours:

\[ \text{Donuts in 5 hours} = \text{Unit rate} \times 5 \text{ hours} \approx 4.714285714 \text{ donuts/hour} \times 5 \text{ hours} \approx 23.57142857 \text{ donuts} \]

Since we are looking for the number of whole donuts he can make, we round down to the nearest whole number:

\[ \text{Whole donuts} = 23 \]

So, in 5 hours, Ramon would make 23 whole donuts.
