Final answer:

Initially, 3 cups of orange juice is equivalent to 24 fluid ounces (3 cups × 8 fl oz/cup). After drinking 20 fluid ounces, there are 4 fluid ounces of orange juice left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about converting cups to fluid ounces and then computing the remaining amount after a portion has been consumed. First, we need to know the conversion factor between cups and fluid ounces. There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. Next, we multiply the total amount of orange juice in cups by the conversion factor to find out the total in ounces. Cody drank 20 fluid ounces out of this total.

Since 3 cups of orange juice are given, we multiply:

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

Cody drank 20 fluid ounces, so we subtract:

24 fluid ounces - 20 fluid ounces = 4 fluid ounces

Therefore, there are 4 fluid ounces of orange juice remaining.
