Answer:

Natasha fell asleep for 1.125 hours.

Explanation:

We have been given that

Total time spent by Natasha on the beach = 1 1/2 = 3/2 hours

She fell asleep for 3/4 of time she was on the beach.

Hence, the time she fell asleep is given by

$t=(3)/(2)*(3)/(4)\\\\t=(9)/(8)\\\\t=1.125\text{ hours}$

Therefore, Natasha fell asleep for 1.125 hours.
