A chef makes his own garlic butter to serve with warm bread at his restaurant. The recipe calls for 6 tablespoons of fresh garlic for every 4 cups of butter. How much garlic does a chef use per cup of butter?
To find out how much garlic the chef uses per cup of butter, we need to divide the amount of garlic by the amount of butter, ensuring that we're getting the appropriate ratio.
