Answer:

  A.  0.5< t < 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the relation ...

  time = distance / speed

to find the number of hours it took Johanna to walk around the lake.

  time = (2 mi)/(3 mi/h) = 2/3 h

2/3 is between 1/2 and 3/4, so the first answer choice describes the interval containing Johanna's time:

  0.5 < t < 0.75
