Answer:

8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

CORRECT: the remaining 64 ounces making pasta.

Assuming 'x' be the 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

Thus, (x/2)=64

x=(64)(2)

x=128 ounces

Note that 1 ounces=0.0625 pounds

then,  128 ounces*0.0625=8 pounds

Thus, Mama Mia started with 8 pounds of mozzarella cheese
