To round the mixed number \( 8 \frac{2}{7} \) to the nearest whole number, we first need to look at the fraction part, \( \frac{2}{7} \).
1. Convert \( \frac{2}{7} \) to a decimal to help with rounding:
- \( \frac{2}{7} \approx 0.2857 \).
2. Now add this decimal to the whole number part:
- \( 8 + 0.2857 = 8.2857 \).
3. To round to the nearest whole number, we look at the decimal portion:
- Since \( 0.2857 \) is less than \( 0.5 \), we round down.
Thus, \( 8 \frac{2}{7} \) rounded to the nearest whole number is \( 8 \).
