To determine the number of whole donuts Ramon would make in 5 hours, we need to use a unit rate. A unit rate is a conversion factor that relates two different quantities. In this case, we want to relate the number of donuts to the number of hours.
First, we need to find the rate at which Ramon makes donuts per hour. We can do this by dividing the number of donuts he makes (33) by the number of hours it takes to make them (7):
33 donuts / 7 hours = 4.714 donuts/hour (rounded to three decimal places)
This tells us that Ramon makes approximately 4.714 donuts in one hour. Now, we can use this unit rate to find out how many whole donuts he would make in 5 hours.
To do this, we multiply the unit rate (4.714 donuts/hour) by the number of hours (5):
4.714 donuts/hour * 5 hours = 23.57 donuts (rounded to two decimal places)
So, Ramon would make approximately 23 whole donuts in 5 hours.
To determine the unit rate, divide the number of donuts made by the number of hours it takes to make them:
33 donuts / 7 hours = 4.714 donuts per hour
Now, to find out how many whole donuts Ramon would make in 5 hours, multiply the unit rate by the number of hours:
4.714 donuts per hour * 5 hours = 23.57 donuts
Since we can't have a fraction of a donut, we round down to the nearest whole number:
23 donuts
So, Ramon would make 23 whole donuts in 5 hours.
