"Quantitative" means described with numbers. They are 'quantities'.
Length, weight, temperature, and price are quantitative measurements.

"Qualitative" means described some other way, not with numbers.
They are 'qualities'.
Color, beauty, honesty, and intelligence are qualitative properties,
although nowadays, methods have been invented for measuring
and describing even these things with numbers.
