To find the amount of flour needed, we can add the amount of white flour amd wheat flour together:

1/4 + 1 7/8

To calculate, we can the mixed fraction into improper fraction:

1/4 + (7+8)/8
=1/4 + 15/8

We can then find fhe common denominator for easier calculation:

1×2/4×2 + 15/8
=2/8 + 15/8
=17/8

It can also be written as:
17/8
=2 1/8

Therefore the answer is 17/8 cups.

Hope it helps!
