More rows need to be added to the tables to be able to compare the crackers.

Answer 1

To compare the fat content per cracker for both types of crackers, we'll calculate the grams of fat per cracker for each type.

**Cracker A:**
To find the fat per cracker, we divide the grams of fat by the number of crackers:

1. For 10 crackers: 8 g / 10 = 0.8 g/cracker
2. For 20 crackers: 16 g / 20 = 0.8 g/cracker
3. For 30 crackers: 24 g / 30 = 0.8 g/cracker
4. For 40 crackers: 32 g / 40 = 0.8 g/cracker
5. For 50 crackers: 40 g / 50 = 0.8 g/cracker
6. For 60 crackers: 48 g / 60 = 0.8 g/cracker

**Cracker B:**
Now for Cracker B:

1. For 12 crackers: 6 g / 12 = 0.5 g/cracker
2. For 24 crackers: 12 g / 24 = 0.5 g/cracker
3. For 36 crackers: 18 g / 36 = 0.5 g/cracker
4. For 48 crackers: 24 g / 48 = 0.5 g/cracker
5. For 60 crackers: 30 g / 60 = 0.5 g/cracker
6. For 72 crackers: 36 g / 72 = 0.5 g/cracker

**Comparison:**
- Cracker A: 0.8 grams of fat per cracker
- Cracker B: 0.5 grams of fat per cracker

Based on the calculations, **Cracker B has less fat per cracker**.
