He forgets to drink any more of his coffee once he starts working, and when he remembers his coffee, he only drinks 1 ounce of the remaining amount because it is cold.

How many ounces does Omar drink on the way to work? ** Omar drinks 1/4 * 12 = 12/4 = <<12/4=3>>3 ounces on the way to work.
How many ounces does Omar drink when he gets to his office? ** Omar drinks 1/2 * 12 = 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 ounces when he gets to his office.
How many ounces will Omar have drunk? ** When he drinks 1 ounce more, he will have drunk 3 + 6 + 1 = <<3+6+1=10>>10 ounces.
How many ounces will be left in the cup afterward? ** Thus, there will be 12 - 10 = <<12-10=2>>2 ounces left in the cup afterward.
