To determine which type of cracker has less sodium per cracker, we need to compare the amounts of sodium for a given number of crackers in both tables.
For Cracker 1, the amount of sodium per cracker can be found by dividing the milligrams of sodium by the number of crackers:
Cracker 1 Sodium per cracker = Milligrams of Sodium / Number of Crackers
For example, for the first row in the table:
Cracker 1 Sodium per cracker = 520 / 20 = 26
Following the same steps for each row in the table, we can find the sodium per cracker for all the other rows in Cracker 1.
For Cracker 2, we can also calculate the sodium per cracker using the same method:
Cracker 2 Sodium per cracker = Milligrams of Sodium / Number of Crackers
Again, following the same steps for each row in the table, we can find the sodium per cracker for all the rows in Cracker 2.
After calculating the sodium per cracker for both types of crackers, we can compare the values to determine which type of cracker has less sodium per cracker.
