To determine which type of cracker has less fat per cracker, we need to compare the grams of fat for each type of cracker at the same number of crackers.

For Cracker A, the amount of fat per cracker is:
8 crackers = 10 grams of fat
10 crackers = 16 grams of fat
16 crackers = 20 grams of fat
20 crackers = 24 grams of fat
24 crackers = 30 grams of fat
30 crackers = 32 grams of fat
32 crackers = 40 grams of fat
40 crackers = 40 grams of fat
50 crackers = 48 grams of fat
48 crackers = 60 grams of fat
60 crackers = 60 grams of fat

For Cracker B, the amount of fat per cracker is:
6 crackers = 12 grams of fat
12 crackers = 24 grams of fat
12 crackers = 24 grams of fat
24 crackers = 36 grams of fat
18 crackers = 36 grams of fat
36 crackers = 72 grams of fat
24 crackers = 48 grams of fat
48 crackers = 90 grams of fat
30 crackers = 100 grams of fat
60 crackers = 180 grams of fat
36 crackers = 216 grams of fat
72 crackers = 252 grams of fat

Comparing the amount of fat per cracker at the same number of crackers, we can see that Cracker A has less fat per cracker than Cracker B.
