Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario that represents using the given inequality is "the point value of a test item is more than 1.25 points and less than 1.5 points".

Given :

Inequality  --  1.25 < x < 1.5

The given inequality means that the value of 'x' is greater than 1.25 but less than 1.5 that is the value of 'x' lies in the interval (1.25,1.5).

Now, check all the options in order to determine the scenario that can be represented using the given inequalities.

A) Let the cost of the container be 'x'. So, the cost of the container is:

[tex]\rm 1.25 \leq x < 1.5[/tex]

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

B) One hour 15 minutes can be written as 1.25 hours and One hour 30 minutes can be written as 1.50 hours. So, the given situation can be represented as:

[tex]\rm 1.25 \leq x < 1.5[/tex]

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

C) The given situation can be represented as:

[tex]\rm 0.25 \leq x < 0.5[/tex]

Therefore, this option is incorrect.

D) The given situation can be represented as:

1.25 < x < 1.5

Therefore, this option is correct.
