To determine the ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza, as well as the carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in one slice and in the entire pizza, we can follow these steps:
-
Ounces of Cheese in One Slice: Since Martin used 16 ounces of cheese and cut the pizza into 8 slices, we can find the amount of cheese per slice by dividing the total ounces of cheese by the number of slices:
\[ \text{Ounces of cheese in one slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces per slice} \]
-
Carbohydrates from Mozzarella Cheese: The amount of carbohydrates in mozzarella cheese can vary based on the specific cheese used. On average, mozzarella cheese contains about 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce.
Therefore, the grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in one slice of pizza can be calculated as:
\[ \text{Carbohydrates in one slice} = \text{Ounces of cheese in one slice} \times \text{Carbohydrates per ounce} \]
\[ \text{Carbohydrates in one slice} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams} \]
For the entire pizza, we can multiply the grams of carbohydrates in one slice by the number of slices:
\[ \text{Carbohydrates in entire pizza} = \text{Carbohydrates in one slice} \times 8 \text{ slices} \]
\[ \text{Carbohydrates in entire pizza} = 2 \text{ grams} \times 8 = 16 \text{ grams} \]
In summary:
- Ounces of cheese in one slice: 2 ounces
- Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in one slice: 2 grams
- Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: 16 grams
