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."
