If a number line shows tick marks that are not labeled, can you determine the coordinate of a point located at an unlabeled tick mark?

If other tickmarks are labeled, then you could do some detective work (of sorts) to figure out the unlabeled tickmarks.

For example, let's say we had a number line with 1,2,3,... and let's say that 7 was covered up or erased or smudged. So we have 1,2,3,4,5,6,__,8,9. We could then easily determine that 7 must go in that blank spot. This is just one example of course.

Another example could be that if we had a tickmark right in the middle of two whole numbers, say 0 and 1. This unlabeled tickmark would most likely be 1/2 = 0.5 as its at the halfway point between 0 and 1.
