Answer 1

To calculate the answers to the questions, we can follow these steps:

1. Ounces of cheese in one slice of pizza:

Total cheese used = 16 ounces Total slices = 8

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

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

From the given data, for mozzarella cheese:

• Calories: 72
• Carbohydrates: 0.79 g

Since the carbohydrate amount is directly stated per serving (assumed here based on total cheese and not slice), we will use the carbohydrate data per ounce.

Carbohydrates per ounce for cheese: 0.79 g (in one serving, not per ounce but can consider it per cut approx. thus an extrapolation)

So, for 2 ounces of cheese (2 servings): Carbohydrates in one slice = 0.79 g per serving × 2 servings = 1.58 g

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

Total ounces of cheese = 16 ounces

Using the carbohydrate amount per ounce (0.79 g per serving as noted, approximated): Total carbs for 16 oz: 0.79 g × 16 servings = 12.64 g

To summarize:

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