Yes I really don't understand it at all and my teacher is an old pile of shit

If I remember right, it works like this.

quantitative ~ height, weight, length

qualitative ~ what color something is, how sweet a candy bar is, how bright a light is

If you understand it, writing five sentences explaining each should be easy.

The term quantitative refers to a type of information or data that is based on quantities obtained using a quantifiable measurement process. In contrast, qualitative information records qualities that are descriptive, subjective or difficult to measure.

qualitative - describing the quality of something in size, appearance, value, etc. Such adjectives can be submodified by words such as very and have comparative and superlative forms.
