You are correct, there are not infinite markings but there is a process known as 'interpolating' that allows you to estimate the values between the markings. I asked my school teacher what did interpolating mean. She said "I don't know!". I am enjoying this tread but admit it is just useless memories in todays world. I have 18 months to work. Then I am going to teach math, science and history for free.
