OPTIONS FOR 1: 0.5, 1.5, 0.79, OR 2

OPTIONS FOR 2: 1.58, 9.48, 0.79, OR 2.37

OPTIONS FOR 3: 126.4, 1.264, 0.1264, OR 12.64

Answer 1

Let's break down the questions step by step.

1. **Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:**

Martin used a total of 16 ounces of mozzarella cheese for the whole pizza. Since he cut the pizza into 8 slices, we divide the total amount of cheese by the number of slices:
\[
\text{Cheese per slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces per slice}
\]

So, the answer for the first blank is **2**.

2. **Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice:**

There are 0.79 grams of carbohydrates in 1 ounce of mozzarella cheese. Since one slice has 2 ounces of cheese:
\[
\text{Carbohydrates per slice} = 0.79 \text{ g/ounce} \times 2 \text{ ounces} = 1.58 \text{ grams}
\]

So, the answer for the second blank is **1.58**.

3. **Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza:**

First, we need to calculate the total weight of the cheese on the entire pizza, which we already know is 16 ounces. Now we multiply the total ounces by the carbohydrate content per ounce:
\[
\text{Total carbohydrates} = 0.79 \text{ g/ounce} \times 16 \text{ ounces} = 12.64 \text{ grams}
\]

So, the answer for the third blank is **12.64**.

Putting it all together:
- There are **2** ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza.
- There are **1.58** grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice.
- There are **12.64** grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.
