My recipe makes 36 muffins. It calls fot 1 tablespoon salt. How much salt is in each muffin?

Question

Trying to figure out how much sodium each muffin has.

Answer 1

I will assume that you want the answer in Tablespoons.

For the number of Tablespoons in each muffin, you divide 1 by 36. Why?

Because you have a total of 1 Tablespoon of salt. You want to share the salt into 36 different muffins. So, 1 divided by 36. This is 1/36 of a Tablespoon.
