\( 8 \times \frac{8}{9}=\square \) (Type a whole number, fraction, or mixed number.)

To solve \( 8 \times \frac{8}{9} \), you can think of it as multiplying 8 by the fraction. First, multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: \( 8 \times 8 = 64 \). Now, place that result over the original denominator of the fraction: \( \frac{64}{9} \). This fraction does not simplify further. If you prefer a mixed number, divide 64 by 9, which is \( 7 \) with a remainder of \( 1 \), thus: \( 7 \frac{1}{9} \). So, the answer is \( \frac{64}{9} \) or \( 7 \frac{1}{9} \).
