Answer 1

Answer:

Quantitative= The candle is 3 inches tall and has a diameter of 2 inches.

Qualitative=  odor, cold, hot, taste, texture, and appearance

Explanation:

Qualitative:

Qualitative properties are those that can be only observed but not measured in numerical values. These are observed through senses: touch, sight, smell, taste and hear.

For example:

Color, odor, brittleness, taste etc.

Quantitative:

Quantitative properties can be measured in numerical values.

For example:

Melting point, boiling point, conductivity, viscosity, density, hardness and solubility.

In short we can say that qualitative is a measure of quality while the quantitative is a measure of quantity.
