$5 \frac{1}{3} cups$ $5 1/3 "cups"$

Explanation:

All you have to do is convert $1 \frac{1}{3} cups$ $1 1/3 "cups"$ into improper fraction to make it easier then simply multiply it to n number of loaves you want to bake.

$1 \frac{1}{3} cups = \frac{4}{3} cups$ $1 1/3 "cups" = 4/3 "cups"$

1 loaf:
$\frac{4}{3} \cdot 1 = \frac{4}{3} cups$ $4/3 * 1 = 4/3 "cups"$

2 loaves:
$\frac{4}{3} \cdot 2 = \frac{8}{3} cups or 2 \frac{2}{3} cups$ $4/3 * 2 = 8/3 "cups" or 2 2/3 "cups"$

3 loaves:
$\frac{4}{3} \cdot 3 = \frac{12}{3} cups or 4 cups$ $4/3 * 3 = 12/3 "cups" or 4 "cups"$

4 loaves:
$\frac{4}{3} \cdot 4 = \frac{16}{3} cups or 5 \frac{1}{3} cups$ $4/3 * 4 = 16/3 "cups" or 5 1/3 "cups"$
