Answer:

Erin should stop at three and a half rounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

One complete round will mow 954 square feet, the total area that she has to mow 3375 square feet. If she goes around three and a half times, she should be finished and stop. This was quite hard to figure out, and may very well be incorrect in some way, but I hope this helps.
