You are having a party and are serving quesadillas as appetizers. There will be 12 people at the party. Each quesadilla will be cut into 4 wedges, and you expect each person to eat 3 wedges. How many quesadillas do you need to make? 1. Let x represent the number of quesadillas you need. Write an expression for the number of wedges in x quesadillas.

2. How many quesadilla wedges do you need to feed 12 people?

3. Use your answers from part 1 and 2 to write an equation that you could use to find the number of quesadillas needed.

4. Solve your equation to find how many quesadillas you need.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
