Question

Martin made a veggie pizza on a whole wheat crust. He used 16 ounces of cheese. He cut his pizza into 8 slices.



There are
ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza.

There are
grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice.

There are
grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.

Answer 1

To solve the problems, we first need to determine how many ounces of cheese are in each slice of pizza and then calculate the carbohydrates.

1. **Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:**
- Total cheese: 16 ounces
- Slices: 8
- Ounces of cheese per slice = Total cheese / 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:**
- Mozzarella cheese typically has around 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce.
- Therefore, for each slice:
\[
\text{Carbs per slice} = \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} \times 1 \text{ gram of carbohydrates/ounce} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams}
\]

3. **Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza:**
- Total carbohydrates in the entire pizza:
\[
\text{Total carbs} = \text{Carbs per slice} \times \text{Number of slices} = 2 \text{ grams/slice} \times 8 \text{ slices} = 16 \text{ grams}
\]

### Summary:
- 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.
