00:42 So these statements, the first one is talking about the distance that the sun is from earth, and it tells us a numerical measured value, 93 million miles.
00:54 So that is a quantitative statement.
01:01 The other statements are all qualitative, because none of them state a numerical value.
01:11 Leonardo da vinci being a better painter than michelangelo, that is purely an opinion, so that can't even be measured.
01:20 Choice c, ice is less dense than water.
01:25 We are talking about a property that could be measured, the density, but they didn't give us a numerical value...
