A mixed fraction can be converted into an improper fraction by adopting the following procedure:

$\frac{(denominator\times wholenumber)+numerator}{denominator}$

Here, the given mixed fraction is $2\frac{2}{7}$ which can be converted into improper fraction using the following steps:

Multiplying $7$ and $2$. We get, $7\times 2=14$.

Adding $2$ to$14$. We obtain, $2+14=16$.

Taking $7$ as the denominator and $16$ as numerator, the required improper fraction is $\frac{16}{7}$.

Therefore, the improper fraction for the mixed fraction $2\frac{2}{7}$ is $\frac{16}{7}$.
