Answer:
Venom C is 0.625 times as potent as venom A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that venom A is four times as potent as venom B.
Venom C is 2.5 times as potent as Venom B.
We have to find that how many times as potent is venom C is compared to venom A.
Let Venom B =x
Then Venom A=[tex]4\times x=4x[/tex]
Venom C=[tex]2.5\times x=2.5 x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Venom\;C}{venom\;A}=\frac{2.5x}{4x}=\frac{25}{40}=\frac{5}{8}=0.625[/tex]
Hence, venom C is 0.625 times as potent as venom A.
