Pls mark as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us change the mixed fractions to improper fractions to ease our calculations.

So,5 1/4   =  20+1/4  =  21/4

Similarily, 3 3/4

= 12+3

/4

= 15

/4  

​

 Now, Cups of flour required for 3 loaves of bread =3× 21

/4  = 63

/4  cups

Flour left with Steve =20− 63

/4  = 17

/4  cups

Flour required for cake recipe  = 15

/4  cups

Hence, he will have enough flour for cake recipe.
