To answer Quantitative Comparison Questions, you need to compare two quantities and then choose the statement from a list that most accurately describes the comparison.

Look at the following directions for the Quantitative Comparison Questions.

Directions: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given, and select one of the following four answer choices:
(A) Quantity A is greater.
(B) Quantity B is greater.
(C) The two quantities are equal.
(D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Example 1:
0 < a < b < c < 1
Quantity A: \(\frac{{ab}}{c}\)
Quantity B: 1

Example 2:
0 < abc < 1
Quantity A: \(\frac{{ab}}{c}\)
Quantity B: 1

Example 3:
-3x + 6y = 5
-2x + 5y = -1
Quantity A: x - y
Quantity B: -5

Example 4:
0 < -10
\(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{7}\)
Quantity A: y - x
Quantity B: -25




Example 5:
x > 0 and x ≠ 1
Quantity A: \(\frac{{\left( {x + 3} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right)}}{{{x^2} - x}}\)
Quantity B: 1
