Answer 1

To find out how many donuts Ramon makes in 5 hours, we first need to determine his rate of making donuts per hour.

Ramon makes 33 donuts in 7 hours, so we calculate the unit rate:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{33 \text{ donuts}}{7 \text{ hours}} \approx 4.714 \text{ donuts per hour} \]

Now, we will use this rate to find out how many donuts he makes in 5 hours:

\[ \text{Donuts in 5 hours} = 4.714 \text{ donuts/hour} \times 5 \text{ hours} \approx 23.57 \text{ donuts} \]

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

So, the answer is 23.
