Quantitative relationship

This section assesses students' deductive and quantitative reasoning and general quantitative sense and knowledge. Students are asked to compare two sets of number or number related expressions to determine if one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

Below is an example:

  • Number comparison:
    1.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I2516
    II2156
    A) I is greater than II.
    B) I is less than II.
    C) I is equal to II.
    [Correct Answer]:A
    The comparisons also involve mathematical expressions, money, measurement, time, geometry and others. Below are more examples:
  • Mathematical expression(1):
    2.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I5 × 0
    II5 + 5
    A) I is greater than II.
    B) I is less than II.
    C) I is equal to II.
    [Correct Answer]:B
  • Mathematical expression(2):
    3.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I1 + 2 + 3 + 4
    II2 × 4
    A) I is greater than II.
    B) I is less than II.
    C) I is equal to II.
    [Correct Answer]:A
  • Money(1):
    4.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I2 quarters.
    II8 dimes.

    (Note that 1 quarter = 25 cents and 1 dime = 10 cents).
    A) I is more than II.
    B) I is less than II.
    C) I is equal to II.
    [Correct Answer]:B
  • Money(2):
    5.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I2 quarters.
    II12 nickels.

    (Note that 1 quarter = 5 nickels).
    A) I is more than II.
    B) I is less than II.
    C) I is equal to II.
    [Correct Answer]:B
  • Time related(1):
    6.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I3 weeks.
    II21 days.
    A) I is a longer time than II.
    B) I is a shorter time than II.
    C) I is the same length of time as II.
    [Correct Answer]:C
  • Time related(2):
    7.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I4 years.
    II59 months.
    A) I is a longer time than II.
    B) I is a shorter time than II.
    C) I is the same length of time as II.
    [Correct Answer]:B
  • Time related(3):
    8.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I2 months.
    II10 weeks.
    A) I is a longer time than II.
    B) I is a shorter time than II.
    C) I is the same length of time as II.
    [Correct Answer]:B
  • Measurement(1):
    9.  Compare the two things and decide if one is bigger than the other or if they are equal.
    I5 feet.
    II55 inches.
    A) I is a longer than II.
    B) I is a shorter than II.
    C) I is the same length as II.
