Answer 1

Let's break down the information provided to fill in the blanks regarding the veggie pizza Martin made.

1. **Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:**
- Martin used 16 ounces of cheese for the entire pizza, which is cut into 8 slices.
- To find the amount of cheese per slice, you divide the total ounces 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:**
- Mozzarella cheese typically contains about 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce.
- So, 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 the pizza:

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

Now, filling in the blanks:

- 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.
