Question

All of the following are equivalent except _____.

12.5%
5/4
125%
1.25

Answer 1

To determine which of the options is not equivalent to the others, let's convert each option into a decimal or a fraction and see if they are all the same.

1. **12.5%**:
\( 12.5\% = \frac{12.5}{100} = 0.125 \)

2. **5/4**:
\( \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \)

3. **125%**:
\( 125\% = \frac{125}{100} = 1.25 \)

4. **1.25**:
This is already in decimal form.

Now summarizing:

- \( 12.5\% \) is equivalent to \( 0.125 \).
- \( \frac{5}{4} \) is equivalent to \( 1.25 \).
- \( 125\% \) is equivalent to \( 1.25 \).
- \( 1.25 \) is equivalent to \( 1.25 \).

From this, it is clear that:

- \( 12.5\% \) is not equivalent to \( \frac{5}{4} \), \( 125\% \), or \( 1.25 \); instead, it equals \( 0.125 \).

Thus, the correct answer is **12.5%**.
