Answer:

B. A student spends at least 1 hour 15 minutes, but no more than 1 hour 30 minutes on homework.

Explanation:

1.25 ≤ x ≤ 1.5 means x = 1.25 or more than 1.25

and x < 1.5 or x = 1.5.

{ 1.25 and 1.5 are contained }

_______________________

Option A: " Less than $1.50 " : doesn't contain 1.5

Option C: " 25% " = 0.25, " 50% " = 0.5

D: " More than 1.25 and less than 1.5 " doesn't contain 1.25 and 1.5.

B: 1 hour 15 min = 1 hour + 15/60 hour 1 hour + 1/4 hour = 1.25 hour

1 hour 30 min = 1.5 hour
