the correct question is
Mama Mia restaurant used start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of their mozzarella cheese making pizza and the remaining 64 ounces making pasta.
How many pounds of mozzarella cheese did Mama Mia start with?
Let
x---------------> total ounces of mozzarella
we know that
making pizza-----------> (1/2)*x------> x/2
therefore
making pasta-------> [x-x/2]--------> (2x-x)/2-----> x/2
making pizza=making pasta=x/2
(x/2)=64---------------> x=64*2-----------> x=128 ounces
remember that
1 ounces----------------> 0.0625 pounds
then
128 ounces*0.0625=8 pounds
the answer is 8 pounds
