Yesterday Sam spent 35 and a half minutes a studying for a test. Emma spent one and a half times that amount studying for a different test. How many minutes did Emma spend studying.

To find the amount of time Emma spent studying, we need to multiply Sam's time spent studying by 1.5.

Emma's time = Sam's time * 1.5

Emma's time = 35.5 minutes * 1.5 = <<35.5*1.5=53.25>>53.25 minutes. Answer: \boxed{53.25}.

To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate one and a half times the amount Sam studied.

First, let's find out how many minutes one and a half times 35 and a half minutes is:

1.5 * 35.5 = 53.25 minutes

Therefore, Emma spent 53.25 minutes studying.

To find out how many minutes Emma spent studying, we need to calculate one and a half times the amount of time Sam spent studying.

First, we know that Sam spent 35 and a half minutes studying.

To find one and a half times that amount, we need to multiply the number by 1.5.

35.5 minutes * 1.5 = 53.25 minutes

Therefore, Emma spent 53.25 minutes studying.
