To determine which type of cracker has less fat per cracker, we need to compare the ratios of grams of fat to the number of crackers for both crackers.
For Cracker A:
Ratio of Fat to Crackers = Grams of Fat / Number of Crackers
For example, for 10 crackers: 8 grams of fat / 10 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
For Cracker B:
Ratio of Fat to Crackers = Grams of Fat / Number of Crackers
For example, for 12 crackers: 6 grams of fat / 12 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
Comparing the ratios, we can see that Cracker B has less fat per cracker than Cracker A. So the correct answer is "Cracker B."
To compare the amount of fat per cracker for the two types of crackers, we need to calculate the ratio of grams of fat to the number of crackers for each type of cracker.
For Cracker A:
- For 10 crackers: 8 grams of fat
- The ratio of grams of fat to the number of crackers is 8/10 = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
For Cracker B:
- For 12 crackers: 6 grams of fat
- The ratio of grams of fat to the number of crackers is 6/12 = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
Comparing the two ratios, we can see that Cracker B has less fat per cracker compared to Cracker A.
Therefore, the answer is Cracker B.
To compare the amount of fat per cracker for each type of cracker, we need to divide the grams of fat by the number of crackers. Let's calculate this for both Cracker A and Cracker B:
Cracker A:
- 8 grams of fat / 10 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
- 16 grams of fat / 20 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
- 24 grams of fat / 30 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
- 32 grams of fat / 40 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
- 40 grams of fat / 50 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
- 48 grams of fat / 60 crackers = 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
Cracker B:
- 6 grams of fat / 12 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
- 12 grams of fat / 24 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
- 18 grams of fat / 36 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
- 24 grams of fat / 48 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
- 30 grams of fat / 60 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
- 36 grams of fat / 72 crackers = 0.5 grams of fat per cracker
From the calculations, we can see that Cracker B has less fat per cracker compared to Cracker A. Therefore, the answer is Cracker B.
