Solution Steps

00:00 Which numbers appear on the number line?
00:08 It seems the line is divided into 7 segments
00:12 And each segment equals one-seventh, let's count them
00:23 Let's mark the required numbers
00:29 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's first count how many points, including the number 1, are on the number line.

Since there are 7 in total, we'll define the 0 point as the fraction:

07 \frac{0}{7}

We will also define 1 as the following fraction:

77 \frac{7}{7}

Now let's fill in each point on the line to discover which numbers are missing:

Answer

27,57 \frac{2}{7},\frac{5}{7}
