To solve the expression \( \frac{2}{7} \times 8 \), follow these steps:

  1. Convert the whole number (8) into a fraction: \[ 8 = \frac{8}{1} \]

  2. Multiply the two fractions: \[ \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{2 \times 8}{7 \times 1} = \frac{16}{7} \]

  3. Convert \( \frac{16}{7} \) into a mixed number:

    • Divide 16 by 7: \[ 16 \div 7 = 2 \quad \text{(whole number)} \] \[ \text{Remainder: } 16 - (7 \times 2) = 2 \]
    • So, \( \frac{16}{7} = 2 \frac{2}{7} \).

The correct answer is \( 2 \frac{2}{7} \) (2 and 2/7).
