To compare which type of cracker has less fat per cracker, we can calculate the average amount of fat per cracker for each type.
For Cracker A:
Average fat per cracker = Total grams of fat / Number of crackers
For the given data, the total grams of fat for Cracker A is 6+12+18+24+30+36 = 126 grams.
The total number of crackers for Cracker A is 12+24+36+48+60+72 = 252 crackers.
Average fat per cracker for Cracker A = 126 / 252 = 0.5 grams per cracker.
For Cracker B:
Average fat per cracker = Total grams of fat / Number of crackers
The total grams of fat for Cracker B is 8+16+24+32+40+48 = 168 grams.
The total number of crackers for Cracker B is 10+20+30+40+50+60 = 210 crackers.
Average fat per cracker for Cracker B = 168 / 210 ≈ 0.8 grams per cracker.
