(upbeat music) - Well, hey everybody.

Blueberry and I are just here.

We got some cars.

- We got some toy cars.

- We got some toy cars here.

We're working on our track.

Look at this track.

- It's really good.

I worked on it all night.

- I can tell because there's so many loops.

That's a lot.

You think the car would go through it?

- There's loopty loop road.

Woo.

- That is.

Okay.

You know what this reminds me of?

- What?

- All these cars and things.

It reminds me of our story problem of the day.

- Oh, a story problem?

- That's right.

- Oh, maybe I can help.

- Okay.

Well, let's see if we can figure this out.

- Okay.

So here's the problem?

Emilio has 14 toy cars, but those 14 are all red.

- Oh, okay.

He must have had a birthday.

- Maybe so.

- Got lots of cars.

- He does.

He's got a lot.

Okay.

He's also got 13 blue cars.

- Okay.

- All right.

And the rest of them are all green, and all... - Those are really pretty.

- Those are pretty, pretty colors.

Red, blue, green, all together, he has 58 toy cars.

- That's a lot of toy cars.

- Yeah.

You know what we need to figure out though?

- What is he going to share some with me?

- I mean, that would be pretty great, right?

- Yeah.

- We got to figure out how many green cars that Emilio has.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah.

It's kind of like a mystery.

It's like a mystery to solve.

Right.

And we got to figure out... - The mystery of the green cars.

- The mystery of the green car.

That's a good title.

Okay.

So as we figure this out, we got to search for some clues.

Right?

As we solve a mystery, we got to find the clues - With Joel private eye.

- We're ready.

- So what are the clues we know?

We knew some things out of that problem.

- Red cars.

- There were red cars and there were, we had a certain amount.

Right?

- Mm-hmm.

- We knew how many there were.

We also knew that there were blue ones.

- Yes.

I don't remember.

I didn't write them down.

- Oh, okay.

Well, you know what we need?

- What?

- Something to keep track of that.

- Oh, oh.

Like the magic chalkboard?

- Yeah.

- Oh, let's count together.

- Okay.

Ready?

- 1, 2, 3, chalkboard.

- Chalkboard.

There we go.

Now, we're ready.

- Let me get a notebook.

- Okay.

You do that.

All right.

So as we are looking at this problem, we know that there were 14 red cars.

There were 13 blue ones and the rest are green.

Now, we knew that the total was 58.

What we've got to figure out is how many of those are green then?

Okay, let's first start with what we know.

We know the red and the blue and we can actually figure out that total, okay.

Of just the red and the blue together by adding them up.

So I know that there were 14 and I'm going to add to that.

I'm going to add the blue ones in, and it's 13.

So if I'm trying to add those together, there's different ways of adding those numbers together.

One way it might be to separate that out into one group of 10 and a four for 14, one group of 10 and a three for our 13.

Right?

We've got tens and ones going on.

So as I do that, I know, well, I have two groups of 10 now which 10 and 10 makes 20.

- Oh, 20.

- Good job, Blueberry.

- 20 (chuckles) - It makes 20.

And then three and four.

I can do that one.

- That's (mumbles) seven, seven.

- Seven, so now I know that I have 20 and seven.

Well, together that's 27.

- 27.

- Okay.

So we know that we have 27 cars of just red and blue ones.

- Oh, wow.

- Do you remember the total?

Total was, it was a big number - 50.

- 58.

- 58, 58.

- 58.

Okay.

So how many do we have to add on to 27 to get to 58?

- I don't even know where to start with that one, Joel.

- That's what we've got to now solve.

- That's a mystery really.

- As we do that, that's kind of a tough thing to do.

Right?

But we might be able to do that by starting with, can we add on tens?

- Yeah.

Oh, I can do tens.

- You can do tens?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, so let's start at 27.

We already know the 27.

Let's now add on to 10.

So if we added one group of 10 to 27 would be up to?

- That's 37.

- 37.

That was one.

So add another group of 10.

- Oh, 47.

- Okay.

One more group of 10?

- 57.

- 57.

That's really close to our total.

We needed 58.

- Oh, we need one more.

One more.

- Okay.

One more.

So three groups of 10 is 30 plus one more- - It's 31.

- 31.

- 31 green cars.

- 31 green cars, man.

That was great work, Blueberry.

- That was great, Joel, thanks for helping.

- Tell you what, now that was a lot of work.

A lot of things that we had to think through.

Anytime we have these story problems or these, you know, more word problems, we always want to search for the clues.

The things that we do know.

- Oh, let me see if there's clues in my backpack.

- Okay.

So she's looking for those clues and that's always where we want to begin is finding the things we knew.

We knew the red and the blue.

We knew the total, and then we could figure out the unknown which was the green.

- Can we play with the cars now?

- Let's play with the cars.

- Yes.

- Okay.

I'll build up our little tower here at the end.

If it goes through all the loops.

- It'll knock it down.

- Maybe it'll knock it down.

- Let's do it, Joel.

- Okay.

Let me wind this up.

Really good?

- Oh, yes.

- Okay.

You ready?

- Yes.

- Let's count it down.

- 3, 3, 1, go.

- 3, 2.

1. go.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- That was awesome.

- That was great.

High five.

- High five, boom.

And check out more of Blueberry on Blueberry's Clubhouse and we'll be back again real soon.
