Question

(3 points)
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

Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. **Calculating the ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:**
Martin used 16 ounces of cheese in total and cut the pizza into 8 slices. To find the amount of cheese per slice:

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

2. **Calculating the grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice:**
The carbohydrate content in mozzarella cheese is approximately 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce. Therefore, for 2 ounces of cheese in one slice:

\[
\text{Grams of carbohydrates per slice} = \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} \times \text{Carbs per ounce} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 2 \text{ grams}
\]

3. **Calculating the total grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza:**
Since there are 8 slices, the total carbohydrates from the cheese in the entire pizza can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Total grams of carbohydrates} = \text{Grams of carbohydrates per slice} \times \text{Number of slices} = 2 \text{ grams} \times 8 = 16 \text{ grams}
\]

Now we can summarize the answers:

- 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.
