Say I have $\sqrt{\frac{2}{9}}$. How would I convert this to a mixed radical where the radicand is a whole number?
I can convert the $\sqrt{8}$ to a mixed radical easily, $2\sqrt{2}$, but this fraction is tripping me up.

$\sqrt{\frac{2}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$
Is this what you wanted?
What do you mean by the radicand is a "whole number"? In your example $\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$ in both sides of the equation the radicand is a whole number.
In any case, it doesn't really matter because the problem as you stated it doesn't have a radical at all when you simplify: $\sqrt{\frac{2}{8}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{4}}=\frac{1}{2}$.
