tire widths

Quick question.

How wide is a 27" x 1-1/8" tire, as compared to a 700c 25mm?

Mathematically, 1-1/8" = 28.5 mm, but I'm not sure if the translation is that direct or accurate when it comes to sizes in bike tires ...

Some insight into whether or not 25's are wider than the 1-1/8's that would be helpful.
I'm curious as to how the two different tire sizes compare ...
