The difference between the two given numbers is $7.62-7.46=0.16$.

This length of the number line is divided into 8 equal segments.

The length of each of these segments is thus $0.16 \div 8=0.02$.

Point $P$ is three of these segments to the right of 7.46.

Thus, the number represented is $7.46+3(0.02)=7.46+0.06=7.52$.
