To determine which type of cracker has less sodium per cracker, we need to compare the amount of sodium per cracker for each type of cracker.
For Cracker 1, the amount of sodium per cracker can be calculated by dividing the amount of sodium by the number of crackers:
- For the first row, 520 mg / 20 crackers = 26 mg/cracker.
- For the second row, 1040 mg / 40 crackers = 26 mg/cracker.
- For the third row, 1560 mg / 60 crackers = 26 mg/cracker.
- For the fourth row, 2080 mg / 80 crackers = 26 mg/cracker.
- For the fifth row, 2600 mg / 100 crackers = 26 mg/cracker.
- For the sixth row, 3120 mg / 120 crackers = 26 mg/cracker.
For Cracker 2, the amount of sodium per cracker can be calculated in the same way:
- For the first row, 200 mg / 16 crackers = 12.5 mg/cracker.
- For the second row, 400 mg / 32 crackers = 12.5 mg/cracker.
- For the third row, 600 mg / 48 crackers = 12.5 mg/cracker.
- For the fourth row, 800 mg / 64 crackers = 12.5 mg/cracker.
- For the fifth row, 1000 mg / 80 crackers = 12.5 mg/cracker.
- For the sixth row, 1200 mg / 96 crackers = 12.5 mg/cracker.
Comparing the sodium per cracker for each type of cracker, we can see that Cracker 2 has less sodium per cracker (12.5 mg) compared to Cracker 1 (26 mg). Therefore, Cracker 2 has less sodium per cracker.
The following tables show the amount of sodium for a given number of crackers for two types of crackers. Which type of cracker has less sodium per cracker? Cracker 1 Milligrams of Sodium Number of Crackers 520 20 1,040 40 1,560 60 2,080 80 2,600 100 3,120 120 Cracker 2 Milligrams of Sodium Number of Crackers 200 16 400 32 600 48 800 64 1,000 80 1,200 96(1 point) Cracker has less sodium per cracker.
