2 (whole number) and 2 (dividend) / 7 (divisor)
2 2/7 = 16/7 (multiply whole number by dividend and add divisor, then place over dividend-- 2 * 7 = 14, 14 + 2 = 16, so 16/7)
2 4/5 = 14/5
14/5 * 16/7 = (multuiply tops together and then bottoms) 224/35
simplify: 224/35 = (224 and 35 are both divisble by 7) 32/5
convert to compound fraction: 32 divided by 5 is 6 with 2 left over
so the answer is 6 2/5 or six and two fifths

2 and 2/7 is the same as 16/7 and 2 and 4/5 is the same as 14/5. multiply the numerators and denominators together and you get 224/35 then simplify if possible. Good luck!
