To determine how many whole donuts Ramon can make in 5 hours, we first need to find his rate of production per hour.

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

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{33 \text{ donuts}}{7 \text{ hours}} \approx 4.7143 \text{ donuts per hour} \]

Next, we calculate how many donuts he would make in 5 hours:

\[ \text{Donuts in 5 hours} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Hours} = 4.7143 \text{ donuts/hour} \times 5 \text{ hours} \approx 23.5715 \text{ donuts} \]

Since we want the number of whole donuts, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 23.

Therefore, the answer is:

23
