Ethan and his friends ate a total of 7 friends + 1 Ethan = <<7+1=8>>8 people.
Each person ate 5 slices/pizza * 8 people = <<5*8=40>>40 slices.
So out of the total of 64 pieces of food, subtracting the pizza shows 64 food – 40 slices of pizza = <<64-40=24>>24 mozzarella sticks.
Thus, each person ate 24 mozzarella sticks / 8 people = <<24/8=3>>3 mozzarella sticks/person. Answer: \boxed{3}.
Ethan had 7 of his friends over. He ordered cheese pizzas and mozzarella sticks for the 8 of them. In all there were 64 pieces of food. If each person had 5 slices of pizza, find the number of mozzarella sticks each person ate
