The antenna pieces!
The Rebooter bees!
They sure look angry.
They need a groovy tune to chill 'em out.
Here, you measure - I'll see what I can do about the groovy tune!
[HUMMING] It's working!
We can't let 'em get those measurements!
Don't worry, Deedee - you gotta be really smart to figure that out.
Like us, huh?
Ha ha ha!
Wait... what was I laughing about?
Inez!
What's the mark in the middle between ten and eleven?
♫It's the half-inch mark.♫ Got it!
So like the shorter piece measures ten and a half cyber inches.
Now the other piece!
Hey hey... the middle line.
It's between fifteen and sixteen.
It's fifteen and a half cyber inches long!
♫Now write it down.♫ ♫We need the total length of the two pieces.♫ Okay so like ten and a half plus fifteen and a half equals... whoa!
How do you add ten and a half plus fifteen and a half?!
♫Start with what you know.♫ ♫Adding up the whole numbers.♫ ♫That'll make it easier to think about.♫ Awesome!
The whole numbers add up to twenty-five.
Now for the fractions.
Okay, so one plus one equals two.
And two plus two equals four!
Easy!
Hey, Inez!
Does one half plus one half equal two fourths?
Oh, no... they figured it out!
♫No!
One half plus one half♫ ♫makes two halves, not two fourths.♫ I...I knew that!
Huh!
Then how'd I get two fourths?
Oh, yeah!
The bottom numbers don't get added - they just tell me the fractions I'm adding are halves.
So when you add one half plus one half, you get two halves.
And two halves is a whole!
So twenty five plus two halves is the same as twenty five plus one... which is twenty six!
Inez!
The total length of both pieces is twenty-six cyber inches!
♫Great job, DJ!
Now let's go!♫
