Based on the given information, Paula's Pizza Parlor uses 28 oz of sauce and 16 oz of cheese to make 4 pizzas. Therefore, to find out how much sauce and cheese will be used to make 5 pizzas, we can set up a proportion:

sauce oz / cheese oz = pizzas / pizzas

28 / 16 = 5 / 4

We can now solve for the unknowns:

(28 * 5) / 4 = sauce oz

(16 * 5) / 4 = cheese oz

This simplifies to:

35 = sauce oz

20 = cheese oz

Therefore, Paula will use 35 oz of sauce and 20 oz of cheese to make 5 pizzas.
