Answer 1

10 oz.

Explanation:

There are 16 oz in 1 lb. So for the 10 lb. cake there is a total of 160 oz to start. If the cake is cut in half and then in 8 pieces. There will be a total of 16 pieces.

10 lb/whole cake

= 160 oz/2 halves

= 160 oz/16 slices

= 10 oz/slice

Each slice of icecream cake is 10 oz.
