Quantitative comes from the word "quantity" meaning an exact amount.
A quantitative variable, or answer, is one where an exact numerical value is expected, such as, Liz has 4 dogs.
4 is the quantitative value.
Contrast this with qualitative, where an amount is given but without exact numbers. i.e. Liz has MORE dogs than Sue.
