Ways to tell them apart:
Quality relates to the characteristics or features of something, while quantity is about the amount or number.
When you think of quality, consider aspects like durability, excellence, and reliability.
For quantity, imagine counting, measuring, or quantifying items.
High quality doesn't always mean large quantity, and vice versa.
Remember: quality focuses on how good, quantity focuses on how much.
