To compare 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 each type of cracker.
For Cracker A:
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 8/10 = 0.8
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 16/20 = 0.8
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 24/30 = 0.8
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 32/40 = 0.8
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 40/50 = 0.8
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 48/60 = 0.8
For Cracker B:
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 6/12 = 0.5
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 12/24 = 0.5
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 18/36 = 0.5
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 24/48 = 0.5
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 30/60 = 0.5
- Ratio of grams of fat to number of crackers: 36/72 = 0.5
Based on the ratios calculated, Cracker B has less fat per cracker compared to Cracker A. Therefore, the correct response is: Cracker B.
To compare the amount of fat per cracker for Cracker A and Cracker B, we need to calculate the ratio of grams of fat to the number of crackers for each type of cracker.
For Cracker A, we have the following ratios:
- 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
For Cracker B, we have the following ratios:
- 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 correct answer is: Cracker B.
To compare which type of cracker has less fat per cracker, we need to calculate the ratio of grams of fat to the number of crackers for each type of cracker.
For Cracker A, we have the following ratios:
8/10 = 0.8
16/20 = 0.8
24/30 = 0.8
32/40 = 0.8
40/50 = 0.8
48/60 = 0.8
For Cracker B, we have the following ratios:
6/12 = 0.5
12/24 = 0.5
18/36 = 0.5
24/48 = 0.5
30/60 = 0.5
36/72 = 0.5
By comparing the ratios, we can see that Cracker B has less fat per cracker than Cracker A. Therefore, the correct answer is "Cracker B."
