Answer:

Amount fudge he needs = 23/24 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Total fudge wants = 1
(1)/(2) = 3/2 kg

His sister gave = 1/6 kg

He make = 3/8 kg

Find:

Amount fudge he needs

Computation:

Amount fudge he needs = Total fudge wants - His sister gave - He make

Amount fudge he needs = 3/2 - 1/6 - 3/8

Amount fudge he needs = 23/24 kg
