You know, when I'm not out there saving the world from odd, I make a pretty mean sauce myself.
- How many meatballs do you put in?
- The recipe calls for 26 but I make my meatballs in groups of 10, so I just round up to 30.
- Hey, uh, what's rounding?
(tray clanging) - You don't know?
- No.
- Rounding is when you change a number to make it end with zero to make it easier to use.
So, if I had 16 or 17 ravioli, I would say, "Hey, I have about 20 ravioli."
- Ah.
So if I have 11 or 12 mice in the kitchen, I just say, "Hey, I got 10 mice in the kitchen!"
- Exactly.
By the way, you should still get that checked out.
- Right.
- But how do you know to round up or down?
- I'll show you, but you need to make me 20 pounds of spaghetti.
Yup.
It's a lot.
- I call this "meatball mountain".
Now, Tony, does 13 round up to 20, or down to 10?
- Uh, I don't know!
- Well, 13, here... Down to 10.
- Very nice.
What about 16?
- 16 rounds up to 20.
(applauding) - Wait!
What about 15?
It's right in the middle.
- If it's right in the middle, I make sure nobody's looking... ...and I give it a little nudge so it rounds up to 20.
- Get it?
- Got it.
- Good.
Now I can eat it.
- You've given us such a great gift today.
We're going to teach you the secret family dance.
- (both): LUIGI!
MUSIC!
- Ha ha ha!
♫ Ho!
Ho!
Hey!
