Fractions go in between the whole numbers on the number line.

1 1/7 goes to the right of 1 one-seventh of the way toward 2
(closer to 1 than to 2)

8 2/3 goes to the right of 8 two-thirds of the way toward 9
(closer to 9 than to 8)

When you mark them, you will just estimate the fraction of 
the way toward the next whole number.  They go about where
