How do you convert 125 milliamps to amperes?

To convert milliamps (mA) to amperes (A), you need to understand the relationship between these two units. One ampere is equal to 1,000 milliamps. Therefore, to convert milliamps to amperes, you divide the number of milliamps by 1,000.

In this case, to convert 125 milliamps to amperes, you perform the following calculation:

125 mA ÷ 1,000 = 0.125 A.

This means that 125 milliamps is equivalent to 0.125 amperes, which corresponds to the correct answer. The conversion clearly shows how moving from a smaller unit (milliamps) to a larger unit (amperes) requires division by 1,000, illustrating the scaling between the two measurements.
