  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    The amount of flour required to make a loaf of bread is 5 1/4.

    Therefore to make 3 loaves of bread, one will require:

    5 1/4 × 3 = 21/4 × 3

    = 63/4

    = 15 3/4

    Steve has 20 cups, therefore what is left is:

    20 – 15 3/4 = 4 1/4

    What is left is 4 and 1/4 cups of flour. This is enough to make the cake that requires 3 3/4 cups.
