A student spends at least 1 hour 15 minutes,but no more than 1 hour 30 minutes on homework I think is correct

Answer 3

It may be B

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910 You have an idea on what the answer may be?

Answer 5

is it \(\Large 1.25 < x < 1.5\) ??

OR

is it \(\Large 1.25 \le x \le 1.5\) ??

Answer 6

Answer 7

The second one... sorry! My mistake

Answer 8

Answer 9

ikr

Answer 10

d is correct.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Hahaha Anything else that you need Just Tag me :)

Answer 13

"at least" means "that amount or more"

So saying `A container of milk costs at least $1.25 but less than $1.50` can be translated to \(\Large 1.25 \le x < 1.50\) where x is the cost of milk

so choice A is out

Answer 14

`A student spends at least 1 hour 15 minutes, but no more than 1 hour 30 minutes on homework.` would translate to \(\Large 1.25 \le x \le 1.50\)

basically anything between 1.25 and 1.50 is allowed for x. The value of x could be 1.25 itself or 1.50 itself

Answer 15

`The point value of a test item is more than 1.25 points and less than 1.5 points.` turns into \(\Large 1.25 < x < 1.5\)
