Drawing a number line with fractional points

Question

How can I draw following number line using tikz?

I tried taking help of Help drawing a very simple number line using TikZ but when I input numbers, they are drawn very close to each other. Any hint would be highly appreciated

We need to see what code you actually use and which numbers you write in. You probably want to do something like x = 4cm to scale the xyz coordinate system. — Qrrbrbirlbel, Jan 25 '23 at 16:16

Try this code:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx,tikz}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw[latex-latex] (-.2,0)--(10.5,0);
    \foreach \x in {0,1,...,10}
        \draw[line width=2pt] (\x,.1)--(\x,-.1) node[below] {\bfseries $\frac{\x}{4}$};
        \filldraw (7,0) circle(.1) node[above] {A};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Output:

ADD: If You want losenges as marks consider this code;

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx,tikz}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw[latex-latex] (-.5,0)--(10.5,0);
    \foreach \x in {0,1,...,10}{
        \draw[line width=2pt] (\x,-.1) node[below] {\bfseries $\frac{\x}{4}$};
        \node at (\x,0) {\small $\blacklozenge$};
    }
        \node at (7,.35) {A};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Output:
