Question

3) Cody drank 20 fluid ounces of the 3 cups of orange juice. How many fluid ounces remain? a) Information needed to solve this problem: fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 cup (c) b) Steps to calculate the answer: ​

Answer 1

To calculate the remaining fluid ounces of orange juice, we need to determine the total number of fluid ounces in 3 cups.

Given that 1 cup is equivalent to 8 fluid ounces, we can multiply the number of cups by 8 to find the total fluid ounces:

3 cups * 8 fluid ounces/cup = 24 fluid ounces

So, initially, there were 24 fluid ounces of orange juice.

Since Cody drank 20 fluid ounces, we subtract that amount from the total to find the remaining fluid ounces:

24 fluid ounces - 20 fluid ounces = 4 fluid ounces

Therefore, 4 fluid ounces of orange juice remain.
