There are _ ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza. (1.5, 0.79, 0.5, 2)
There are _ grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice. (9.48, 2.37, 1.58, 0.79)
There are _ grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza. (126.4, 0.1264, 12.64, 1.264)

Answer 1

Let's break down the calculations step by step.

1. Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:

   • Total ounces of cheese used: 16 ounces
   • Number of slices: 8
   • Ounces of cheese per slice = Total ounces of cheese / Number of slices = 16 ounces / 8 slices = 2 ounces

   So, there are 2 ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza.

2. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice:

   • Carbohydrates in 1 oz of mozzarella cheese: 0.79 g
   • For 2 ounces of cheese (as calculated above):
   • Carbohydrates per slice = 2 oz * 0.79 g/oz = 1.58 g

   So, there are 1.58 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice.

3. Grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza:

   • Carbohydrates per slice: 1.58 g
   • For 8 slices:
   • Total carbohydrates in the pizza = 1.58 g * 8 slices = 12.64 g

   So, there are 12.64 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.

In summary:

• There are 2 ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza.
• There are 1.58 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in each slice.
• There are 12.64 grams of carbohydrates from mozzarella cheese in the entire pizza.
