Ramon makes 33 donuts every 7 hours. Using a unit rate. Determine how many whole donuts he would make in 5 hours.
Options:
23
46
1
4
To find the unit rate, divide the number of donuts (33) by the number of hours (7): 33/7 = 4.71428571
This means that Ramon makes approximately 4.71 donuts per hour.
Now, to determine how many whole donuts he would make in 5 hours, multiply the unit rate (4.71) by the number of hours (5): 4.71 x 5 = 23.55.
Since we can only have whole donuts, Ramon would make 23 whole donuts in 5 hours.
Therefore, the answer is 23.
To determine how many whole donuts Ramon would make in 5 hours, we can set up a proportion using the given unit rate.
The unit rate is:
33 donuts / 7 hours
Now, let's set up the proportion:
33 donuts / 7 hours = x donuts / 5 hours
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
33 * 5 = 7 * x
165 = 7x
Now, divide both sides by 7 to isolate x:
165 / 7 = x
x = 23
Therefore, Ramon would make a whole 23 donuts in 5 hours.
The correct option is: 23.
To solve this problem, we need to find the unit rate of donuts made per hour. We can then multiply the unit rate by the number of hours to find the total number of donuts made.
The unit rate is found by dividing the number of donuts made by the number of hours it takes to make them. In this case, Ramon makes 33 donuts every 7 hours.
Dividing 33 donuts by 7 hours gives us a unit rate of 4.71 donuts per hour (rounded to two decimal places).
To find how many whole donuts Ramon would make in 5 hours, we simply multiply the unit rate (4.71 donuts per hour) by the number of hours (5 hours).
4.71 donuts/hour * 5 hours = 23.55 donuts
Since we are looking for whole donuts, the answer would be 23 whole donuts (since we can't have a fraction of a donut).
Therefore, the correct answer is 23 donuts.
