Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Number of batches to be baked = 3 batches

Amount of flour used for each batch = 1 3/4 cups of flour = 7/4 cups of flour

To get the amount of flour required, we will multiply the number of batches to be baked by the amount of flour used for each batch

Amount = 3 * (7/4) = 21/4 = 5 1/4 cups of flour


\text{Amount = 3 }\cdot\text{ 1}(3)/(4)\text{ = 3 }\cdot\text{ }(7)/(4)\text{ = }(21)/(4)=\text{ 5}(1)/(4)
