I only have five cans of food and that's not enough How many tins do you need?
No idea.
What?
Oksana always brings me the right amount.
I do know each dinosaur gets one tin of food.
Let's just count the dinosaurs and figure it out.
WAY too many dinosaurs to count one by one, dude.
Look.
This radar shows how many dinosaurs are inside-- a lot.
Now, while you're busy counting them, they're busy finding something else to eat.
I'm sure we have enough time.
(Loud banging) Okay, let's calm down and think.
I'm calm.
I've made peace with my predicament.
We can use estimation.
See how the dinosaurs are in small groups or clusters?
I feel like you're making up words.
Stick with me!
We can estimate how many dinosaurs are in each cluster, then count by cluster to figure out how much to feed the dinosaurs.
I don't wanna say you've convinced me, but I'm definitely listening.
In this cluster here, there are one, two, three, four, five, six dinosaurs.
OCEAN: In this cluster here, there are only one, two, three, four dinos.
OTIS: Five is the closest friendly number to four and six, so we can say there are five dinosaurs in each cluster.
That way we can count by fives.
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.
So there are about 50 dinosaurs, so we need 50 tins of food.
What's going on?
This is Joy Lafleur.
She's a part-time photographer Oksana made friends with.
Does she do creature portraits?
'Cause I've been thinking it'd be cool-- Ocean, start throwing tins in the hatch while I go get more!
