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.

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:
\[ \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces per slice} \]
-
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:
\[ \text{Carbohydrates per slice} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams} \]
-
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
