After making three pizzas, each requiring 2 cups of flour, from a bag containing 20 cups, Rodney will have 14 cups of flour left over.
Rodney needs to determine how much flour he will have left after making three pizzas. According to the recipe, one pizza requires 2 cups of flour. Therefore, Rodney needs a total of 6 cups of flour for three pizzas (2 cups per pizza multiplied by 3).
Since Rodney buys a bag with 20 cups of flour, we subtract the flour used from the total amount bought to find the leftover flour. Performing the subtraction, 20 cups - 6 cups, we find that Rodney will have 14 cups of flour remaining after making the three pizzas.
