To calculate the ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza, we can divide the total ounces of cheese by the number of slices.
-
Ounces of cheese in one slice: \[ \text{Ounces of cheese per slice} = \frac{16 \text{ ounces}}{8 \text{ slices}} = 2 \text{ ounces per slice} \]
-
Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice: Mozzarella cheese typically contains about 0.6 grams of carbohydrates per ounce. Therefore, for 2 ounces: \[ \text{Carbs per slice} = 2 \text{ ounces} \times 0.6 \text{ grams/ounce} = 1.2 \text{ grams per slice} \]
-
Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza: Since the pizza has 8 slices: \[ \text{Total carbs in pizza} = 1.2 \text{ grams/slice} \times 8 \text{ slices} = 9.6 \text{ grams} \]
Now we can fill in the blanks:
- There are 2 ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza.
- There are 1.2 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice.
- There are 9.6 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.
