To find 1 1/2 times the amount Sarah studied, you multiply the number Sarah studied by 1 1/2: 35.5 * 1 1/2 = <<35.5*1 1/2=53.25>>53.25 minutes. Answer: \boxed{53.25}.
put that as a fraction
To express 53.25 minutes as a fraction, we can first write it as an improper fraction: 53.25 = 53 + 0.25 = 53 + 1/4.
Thus, we have 53.25 minutes = 53 + 1/4 minutes = 53 1/4 minutes.
Thus, we have 53.25 minutes = 53 + 1/4 minutes = 53 1/4 minutes.
