D.4

1 answer

To find the number of donuts Ramon will make in 5 hours, we will set up a proportion using the unit rate.

The unit rate is 33 donuts every 7 hours.

So, the proportion is:

33 donuts / 7 hours = x donuts / 5 hours

To solve for x, we will cross-multiply:

7x = 33 * 5

7x = 165

Dividing both sides of the equation by 7:

x = 165 / 7

x ≈ 23.57

Since Ramon cannot make a fraction of a donut, we will round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Ramon will make 23 whole donuts in 5 hours.

The answer is C. 23.
