To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to multiply the amount of time Sarah spent studying by 1 1/2.
First, we need to convert 35 1/2 minutes to an improper fraction. There are 2 halves in 1 whole, so we can rewrite the 1/2 as 2/2. The sum is 35 2/2 minutes.
To multiply by 1 1/2, we add 1 (which is 2/2) to the fraction and then multiply by the whole number.
35 2/2 * (1 2/2) = (70/2) * (3/2) = (70*3) / (2*2) = 210/4 = 52 1/2
Emma spent 52 1/2 minutes studying for her test.

Apologies for the mistake.
To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to multiply the amount of time Sarah spent studying by 1 1/2.
First, we need to convert 35 1/2 minutes to an improper fraction. There are 2 halves in 1 whole, so we can rewrite the 1/2 as 2/2. The sum is 35 2/2 minutes, which is the same as 35 + 2/2 = 35 + 1 = 36.
To find 1 1/2 times that amount, we can multiply 36 by 1 1/2.
1 1/2 can be written as a mixed number: 1 + 1/2 = 3/2.
36 * (3/2) = (36 * 3) / 2 = 108 / 2 = 54.
Therefore, Emma spent 54 minutes studying.
