A cube has a volume of 125 cubic centimeters. If the cube is reduced using a scale factor of 1/2 what is the length of one side length of the new Cube?

Volume is one side length cubed. So 125 cube rooted gives you 5. 5 using a scale factor of 1/2 is the same as dividing by 2, so it is 5/2 or 2.5
Hope this helps.
