Quantitative deals with numbers (percentage, fraction, whole numbers, mixed number)
Qualitative is just description without numbers.

I agree with @Shalante 

@Pepper5 Quantative means that whatever it is you are studying can be measured.

I didn't see that @Shalante wrote on my post! Thank you both! :)

@Pepper5 right away, those choices you can see that any thing that has a numerical value is a quantitative measurement. Qualitative on the other hand just means that the observation can't necessarily be measured directly for instance "my eyes are blue"
