Answer :
Final answer:
125 cL is equivalent to 12.5 dL, 1250 mL, and 1.25 L but not 125 centimeters, which is a measure of length and not volume. Therefore, the option that is not the same as 125 cL is 3) 125 centimeters.
Explanation:
125 cL (centiliters) is the same as all of these except 125 centimeters. Let's examine each option:
- 1) 125 cubic liter is incorrect terminology but implies 125 liters, which is not equivalent to 125 cL.
- 2) 12.5 deciliter (12.5 dL) is correct, as 1 dL is 10 cL, making 12.5 dL equal to 125 cL.
- 3) 125 centimeters is a measure of length, not volume, so it is not equivalent to 125 cL.
- 4) 1250 milliliter (1250 mL) is correct, as 1 mL is equal to 1 cL, making 1250 mL equal to 125 cL.
- 5) 1.25 liter (1.25 L) is correct, since 100 cL equals 1 L, making 125 cL equal to 1.25 L.
Therefore, the option that is not the same as 125 cL is 3) 125 centimeters.
