Answer: 12.5 kg

Reason: Divide by 1000 to convert from grams to kilograms.

This is the same as moving the decimal point 3 spots to the left.

As another example, 12345 grams = 12.345 kg

The prefix "kilo" means "thousand". It is not to be confused with the prefix "milli" which means "thousandth".
