Final answer:

125 thousandths is equivalent to 1 tenth and 25 thousandths. By subtracting 100 thousandths (1 tenth) from 125 thousandths, we find the remaining 25 thousandths.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about converting a decimal into tenths and thousandths. The decimal 0.125 (125 thousandths) can be expressed as 1 tenth (0.1) and remaining thousandths. 1 tenth (0.1) is equal to 100 thousandths, so if we have 125 thousandths, we subtract 100 thousandths from 125 thousandths to find the remaining thousandths.

125 thousandths - 100 thousandths = 25 thousandths.

Therefore, 125 thousandths is equal to 1 tenth and 25 thousandths.

125 thousandths is the same as .125
Since decimals go tenths, hundredths, thousandths......
you would just say how many this decimal has, so it has 1tenth and 25 thousandths.
