Two properties of minerals that can be expressed in numbers are hardness and specific gravity. Hardness is usually determined using the Mohs scale and is expressed as a number between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Specific gravity is the ratio of a mineral's density compared to the density of water and is expressed as a number.

What are number sets?

Number sets are collections of numbers that share specific properties or characteristics. Common examples include natural numbers (positive integers), whole numbers (natural numbers including zero), integers (whole numbers and their negatives), rational numbers (fractions of integers), and irrational numbers (numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions, such as √2 or π). These sets help organize numbers and facilitate mathematical operations and concepts.
