Answer:
Amount fudge he needs = 23/24 kg

Given:
Total fudge wants = 1[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 3/2 kg
His sister gave = 1/6 kg
He make = 3/8 kg
Find:
Amount fudge he needs

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
