Answer
1. **1.25 mL < 0.0125 L**
2. **19 in.** (No comparison possible as the second measurement is missing)
3. **3.480 mg < 3.5 g**
Solution
Sure, let's compare each pair of measurements using the symbols `<` (less than), `>` (greater than), or `=` (equal to). We'll convert the measurements to the same units where necessary to make accurate comparisons.
### 1. **1.25 mL vs. 0.0125 L**
**Convert to the same unit:**
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
\[
0.0125\, \text{L} = 0.0125 \times 1000\, \text{mL} = 12.5\, \text{mL}
\]
**Comparison:**
\[
1.25\, \text{mL} < 12.5\, \text{mL}
\]
\[
\boxed{1.25\, \text{mL} < 0.0125\, \text{L}}
\]

### 2. **19 inches (in) vs. [Missing Measurement]**
It seems there might be a missing measurement to compare with **19 inches**. If you provide the second value, I can help you compare them accurately.
---
### 3. **3.480 mg vs. 3.5 g**
**Convert to the same unit:**
1 gram (g) = 1000 milligrams (mg)
\[
3.5\, \text{g} = 3.5 \times 1000\, \text{mg} = 3500\, \text{mg}
\]
**Comparison:**
\[
3.480\, \text{mg} < 3500\, \text{mg}
\]
\[
\boxed{3.480\, \text{mg} < 3.5\, \text{g}}
\]

If you have the missing measurement for the second comparison or need further assistance with other measurements, feel free to let me know!

To compare the measurements, it helps to convert them to the same units. Let's start with the conversions: 0.0125 L is equal to 12.5 mL, so you can compare it with 1.25 mL. Here, 1.25 mL is less than 12.5 mL, giving \( 1.25 \text{ mL} < 0.0125 \text{ L} \)! Next, let’s look at the weights: 3.480 mg is equal to 0.003480 g. Now, when you compare 0.003480 g to 3.5 g, it's clear that \( 0.003480 \text{ g} < 3.5 \text{ g} \). Happy comparing!
