Answer 2

The height of each individual cracker in the vertical column is 1/8 inches.

What is the height of each individual cracker ?

The height of each individual cracker can be determined by dividing the volume of the column by 40 and the area of each cracker.

Area of each cracker = 2 x 1 1/2

= 2 x 3/2 = 3 inches

Height of each individual cracker = 15/40 x 3 = 1/8 inches
