To answer your questions, we first need to determine how much cheese is in one slice of pizza, and then calculate the grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese both per slice and for the entire pizza.

  1. Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza: Martin used 16 ounces of cheese and cut his pizza into 8 slices. To find out how many ounces of cheese are in each slice, we divide the total amount of cheese by the number of slices:

    \[ \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces per slice} \]

  2. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice: The carbohydrates in mozzarella cheese vary by brand, but mozzarella generally contains about 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce. Thus, for one slice with 2 ounces of cheese:

    \[ \text{Carbohydrates per slice} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams} \]

  3. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: If there are 2 grams of carbohydrates in one slice and there are 8 slices total, then for the entire pizza:

    \[ \text{Total carbohydrates} = 2 \text{ grams/slice} \times 8 \text{ slices} = 16 \text{ grams} \]

In summary:

  • Ounces of cheese in one slice: 2 ounces
  • Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice: 2 grams
  • Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: 16 grams

Let’s carefully go through the calculations step-by-step to ensure we provide the correct figures.

  1. Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:

    • Martin used 16 ounces of cheese and cut his pizza into 8 slices.
    • The amount of cheese per slice is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces} \]
  2. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice:

    • Mozzarella cheese typically contains about 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce. If there are 2 ounces of cheese in each slice: \[ \text{Carbohydrates per slice} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams} \]
  3. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza:

    • Since there are 8 slices in total: \[ \text{Total carbohydrates} = 2 \text{ grams/slice} \times 8 \text{ slices} = 16 \text{ grams} \]

So the conclusions drawn are:

  • Ounces of cheese in one slice: 2 ounces
  • Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice: 2 grams
  • Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: 16 grams

Let's review the calculations step-by-step once more to ensure clarity and accuracy:

  1. Ounces of cheese per slice:

    • Martin used 16 ounces of cheese for the entire pizza.
    • He cut the pizza into 8 slices.
    • The amount of cheese in one slice is calculated as: \[ \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces} \]
  2. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice:

    • Typically, mozzarella cheese contains approximately 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce.
    • For 2 ounces of cheese in one slice, the carbohydrates would be: \[ \text{Carbohydrates per slice} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams} \]
  3. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza:

    • Since there are 8 slices, to find the total carbohydrates in the entire pizza: \[ \text{Total carbohydrates} = 2 \text{ grams/slice} \times 8 \text{ slices} = 16 \text{ grams} \]

So, summarizing:

  • Ounces of cheese in one slice: 2 ounces
  • Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice: 2 grams
  • Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: 16 grams

Everything checks out with the calculations based on common knowledge about mozzarella cheese. If there is any additional information or specific points of clarification that you are looking for, please let me know!
