Answer 1

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.
