To find the number of grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice of Martin's veggie pizza, we need to follow these steps:
-
Determine the total carbohydrates in the cheese used:
- Martin used 16 ounces of mozzarella cheese.
- Each ounce contains 0.79 grams of carbohydrates.
Total carbohydrates from the cheese: \[ \text{Total carbohydrates} = \text{amount of cheese (oz)} \times \text{carbohydrates per oz} \] \[ = 16 , \text{oz} \times 0.79 , \text{g/oz} = 12.64 , \text{g} \]
-
Calculate the carbohydrates per slice:
- The pizza is divided into 8 slices, so we divide the total carbohydrates by the number of slices.
Carbohydrates per slice: \[ \text{Carbohydrates per slice} = \frac{\text{Total carbohydrates}}{\text{Number of slices}} \] \[ = \frac{12.64 , \text{g}}{8} = 1.58 , \text{g} \]
Thus, the number of grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice is 1.58 grams.
The answer is c. 1.58.
