723.18 years . . . assuming her lawn is the size of Yellowstone National Park.
If she's using a weed-whacker instead of a Toro 3000 (6-ft blade, riding mower),
. . it will take considerably longer.


Identical problem:

Rachel takes off in her private jet at 3:00 pm.
After 10 minutes, she increased her speed to 200 mph.
Approximately what time will Rachel reach her destination?

Get it? .It's a silly problem . . .
