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 _____________ grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.
a. 1.264
b. 12.64
c. 126.4
d.0.1264

1 answer

To determine the grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza, we first need to know the carbohydrate content of the cheese.

In general, mozzarella cheese contains about 1 gram of carbohydrates per ounce.

Given that Martin used 16 ounces of mozzarella cheese:

\[ \text{Carbohydrates} = \text{Ounces of cheese} \times \text{Carbohydrates per ounce} \] \[ \text{Carbohydrates} = 16 \text{ ounces} \times 1 \text{ gram/ounce} = 16 \text{ grams} \]

To convert grams of carbohydrates into the format of the answer choices, we simply note:

\[ 16 \text{ grams} = 16.0 \text{ grams} \equiv 16 \]

None of the options directly represent this value. However, if we compare to the closest decimal options:

  • 1.264
  • 12.64
  • 126.4
  • 0.1264

No answer seems to meet our calculated total directly.

If the question pertains only to options expressly given, and if there's a potential mistake in unit conversion or everything else checked out (like percentage content from the wrong cheese evaluation), then the available options do not accurately reflect the carbohydrate content of the mozzarella used.

Thus, according to what we calculated (16 grams), it seems that none of the provided options are correct.
