$5 3/4 "cups"$

Flour needed to make dough $= 10 1/4 = ((10 × 4) + 1)/4 = 41/4 "cups"$

He have $= 4 1/2 "cups" = ((4 × 2) + 1)/2 "cups" = 9/2 "cups"$

He needs

$=> 41/4 "cups" - 9/2 "cups"$

$=> 41/4 "cups" - (9/2 "cups" × 2/2)$

$=> 41/4 "cups" - 18/4 "cups"$

$=> (41-18)/4 "cups" = 23/4 "cups" = 5 3/4 "cups"$
