Let's break down the problem step by step:
-
Calculating the ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza: Martin used 16 ounces of cheese in total and cut the pizza into 8 slices. To find the amount of cheese per slice:
\[ \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} = \frac{\text{Total ounces of cheese}}{\text{Number of slices}} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8} = 2 \text{ ounces} \]
-
Calculating the grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice: The carbohydrate content in mozzarella cheese is approximately 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce. Therefore, for 2 ounces of cheese in one slice:
\[ \text{Grams of carbohydrates per slice} = \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} \times \text{Carbs per ounce} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams} \]
-
Calculating the total grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: Since there are 8 slices, the total carbohydrates from the cheese in the entire pizza can be calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Total grams of carbohydrates} = \text{Grams of carbohydrates per slice} \times \text{Number of slices} = 2 \text{ grams} \times 8 = 16 \text{ grams} \]
Now we can summarize the answers:
- There are 2 ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza.
- There are 2 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice.
- There are 16 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.
