Which scenario can be represented using the inequalities below?

Question

1.25 < x < 1.5



A container of milk costs at least $1.25 but less than $1.50.
A student spends at least 1 hour 15 minutes, but no more than 1 hour 30 minutes on homework.
A tip added to a restaurant bill is less than or equal to 25% or less than or equal to 50%.
The point value of a test item is more than 1.25 points and less than 1.5 points.

Answer 1

The inequalities \(1.25 < x < 1.5\) can be represented by the scenario:

The point value of a test item is more than 1.25 points and less than 1.5 points.

This is because the inequalities indicate that the value \(x\) is constrained to be between 1.25 and 1.5, not including the endpoints, which aligns with the point values stated in the scenario.
