Solve :
Suyash bought `2 1/2` kg of sugar and Ashish bought `3 1/2` kg of sugar. How much sugar did they buy altogether? If sugar costs 32 per kg, how much did they spend on the sugar they bought ?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will first calculate the total amount of sugar bought by Suyash and Ashish, and then determine the total cost of the sugar.

### Step 1: Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions
Suyash bought `2 1/2` kg of sugar. We can convert this to an improper fraction:
- \( 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \) kg

Ashish bought `3 1/2` kg of sugar. We convert this as well:
- \( 3 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{6 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \) kg
