To compare the amount of fat per cracker for Cracker A and Cracker B, we can divide the grams of fat by the number of crackers for each table.

For 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

For 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.
