To determine how many whole donuts Deborah will make in 5 hours using a proportion, we can set up the proportion based on the information given:
- Set up the initial proportion:
- We know that Deborah makes 33 donuts in 7 hours.
- We want to find out how many donuts (\(x\)) she makes in 5 hours.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
\[ \frac{33 \text{ donuts}}{7 \text{ hours}} = \frac{x \text{ donuts}}{5 \text{ hours}} \]
-
Cross multiply:
- This gives us the equation: \[ 33 \times 5 = 7 \times x \]
- Compute \(33 \times 5\): \[ 165 = 7x \]
-
Solve for \(x\):
- Divide both sides by 7: \[ x = \frac{165}{7} \approx 23.57 \]
Since we want the whole number of donuts, we take the whole number part of 23.57, which is 23.
So, the answers to the questions are:
- Drop target 1: \(\frac{33}{7}\)
- Drop target 2: \(\frac{x}{5}\)
- Drop target 3: \(x = 23 \text{ whole donuts}\)
Question 2: She will make 23 whole donuts in 5 hours.
