To find the number of donuts Ramon makes in 5 hours, we first need to determine the unit rate (the number of donuts made per hour).

Ramon makes 33 donuts in 7 hours.

The unit rate is calculated as:

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{33 \text{ donuts}}{7 \text{ hours}} \approx 4.71 \text{ donuts per hour} \]

Now, we can find out how many donuts he would make in 5 hours by multiplying the unit rate by the number of hours:

\[ \text{Donuts in 5 hours} = 4.71 \text{ donuts/hour} \times 5 \text{ hours} \approx 23.55 \text{ donuts} \]

Since we are looking for whole donuts, we round down to the nearest whole number:

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

Thus, the answer is:

  1. 23
