Examples

“You have⟳ to choose⟳ between quantity and quality.”

“A few comments on the words used in the title of the book and on some related expressions are necessary. A "quantity" is here understood in the sense⟳ of "a thing that has the property of being measurable in dimensions, amounts, etc., or in extensions of these which can be expressed in numbers and symbols" (Webster's New World Dictionary of [the American Language], Third Edition, 1988), or of "something having magnitude, or size, extent, amount, and the like⟳" (Random House Webster's College Dictionary, 1991; The New Hamlyn Encyclopaedic World Dictionary, 1988). It is interesting that up to the 1950s a "quantity" was defined as what we now describe⟳ as "magnitude" (e.g., the unabridged Webster's New International Dictionary, 1948, gives examples of a sphere's surface being a quantity, its area a magnitude, or a yardstick being a quantity, its length a magnitude). This practice is now obsolete and at present⟳ length is a quantity, its numerical value its magnitude.”

“Some soap making oils are best as base⟳ oils, used in a larger quantity in the soap, while other oils are best added in a small quantity.”

“Olive oil can be used practically in any quantity.”

“This bag would normally cost⟳ $497.50 for a quantity of 250, at a price of $1.99 per piece.”

“Generally it should not be used in a quantity larger than 15 percent.”

“The Boeing P-26A was the first all-metal monoplane fighter produced in quantity for the U.S. Army Air Corps.”

“x plus y quantity squared equals x squared plus 2xy plus y squared.”

“For problems 58-67, translate⟳ each word phrase into an algebraic expression. […] 65. x plus 9, the quantity squared”

“The second, (#92;sumx)², read⟳ "summation of x, quantity squared," tells us to first add⟳ up all the xs to get⟳ #92;sumx and then square #92;sumx to get⟳ (#92;sumx)².”

“ANN. ra quantity cubed. SERGE LANG. That's right, (ra)³.”
