Answer:


20(7)/(8)cups\text{ or 19}(15)/(8)\text{of dry ingredients}

Explanations:

Given the following ingredients

Cups of flour = 14 1/8 = 113/8 cups

Cups of sugar = 6 3/8 cups = 51/8 cups

Cups of salts = 3/8 cups

Calculate the total cups of dry ingredients


Total\text{ cups}=(113)/(8)+(51)/(8)+(3)/(8)

Find the LCM


\begin{gathered} Total\text{ cups}=(113+51+3)/(8) \\ Total\text{ cups}=(167)/(8) \\ Total\text{ cups}=20(7)/(8)cups \\ Total\text{ cups}=19+1(7)/(8) \\ Total\text{ cups}=19+(15)/(8) \\ Total\text{ cups}=19(15)/(8)cups \end{gathered}

Therefore there are 19 15/8 cups of dry ingredients in this recipe
