Laura is taking a math test for a job at a hardware store.
L: “This (points to long division symbol) means divide this (dividend) into this (divisor), right?” (They do division with a different method in Costa Rica).
C: “Right”
L: “So it’s like I’m dividing 336 onions for 12 people?”
C: Yes. (Laughs) In Canada we use apples and oranges, in Costa Rica you use onions and garlic.
