To add the numbers 2 and 2 3/7, we need to first convert the mixed number (2 3/7) into an improper fraction.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator. The result becomes the new numerator, while the denominator remains the same.
In this case, we have:
2 * 7 + 3 = 17
--------
7
So, the improper fraction equivalent of 2 3/7 is 17/7.
Now, we can add the two numbers:
2 + 17/7
To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the denominator is already the same, so we can directly add the numerators:
2 + 17/7 = (2 * 7 + 17) / 7 = 31/7
Therefore, the sum of 2 and 2 3/7 is 31/7.
