While exploring a newly discovered asteroid, Emek and Tara collected mineral samples and recorded measurements such as -7, 5/8, 3.125, √49, and √11. Before storing the data, the research archive required every value to be classified within the real number system. They identified which measurements were integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers, noting that some values belonged to more than one set. After organizing the data, they compared the most important readings to identify the richest mineral deposits. Their accurate classifications and comparisons completed the scientific survey and helped the research team select the best samples for further study.
