To find out how long it takes Sonia to mow 2.5 acres of land with a push mower, we first need to convert the time measurements to the same unit.

1.25 hours per acre is equal to 75 minutes per acre. Therefore, Sonia takes 75 minutes to mow 1 acre of land.

35 minutes per acre is already in minutes.

To find out how long it takes Sonia to mow 2.5 acres of land, we add the time it takes to mow 1 acre twice:
(75 minutes per acre * 1 acre) + (35 minutes per acre * 1 acre) = 75 minutes + 35 minutes = 110 minutes

Therefore, it takes Sonia 110 minutes to mow 2.5 acres of land with a push mower.
