Answer:
$5(1)/(4)\ \text{cups of flour}$

Explanation:

Given

Klarissa requires
$1\ (3)/(4)$ cups of flour to make a recipe

Convert mixed numeral to fraction

$\Rightarrow 1(3)/(4)=(4+3)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow (7)/(4)$

If she wants to triple the recipe then,

$\Rightarrow 3* (7)/(4)=(21)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow \text{or}\ 5(1)/(4)\ \text{cups of flour}$
