Joe's dad is ordering pizza for Joe and his friends. Joe says that he wants 5/8 of a pizza. Alex wants 1/2 of a pizza and Sandy, who is not very hungry, wants only 1/4
of a pizza.

First we need to turn the values into decimals

2

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 =  0.625

1/2 = 0.50

1/4 = 0.25

Now add the decimal values up which would be 0.625 + 0.50 + 0.25 = 1.375

You can't have 1.375 of a pizza so joe's dad is going to order at the minimum 2 pizzas so that everyone can have their desired amount

the answer is 99.
