They are not numerically equal.
b is not exactly 125.0, I'm not into details about ruby's float
implementation, but the result simply isn't 100% accurate. Try a.to_f ==
b.round

Same as above.

The 125.0 declaration is accurate, so numerical equality is true. As the
documentation says, this is not an eql? check (i.e. does not have to be same
type).

Same as above.
