There may be additional information, centered above the two columns, that concerns one or both of the quantities. A symbol that appears in both columns represents the same thing in Column A as it does in Column B. You are to compare the quantity in Column A with the quantity in Column B and decide whether:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<ol>\n<li>Quantity A is greater.<\/li>\n<li>Quantity B is greater.<\/li>\n<li>The two quantities are equal.<\/li>\n<li>The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example #1:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"300\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Quantity A<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Quantity B<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/wp-content\/plugins\/wpmathpub\/phpmathpublisher\/img\/math_993_d91efcf8bfb84706c0d57d19123c8c99.png\" style=\"vertical-align:-7px; display: inline-block ;\" alt=\"sqrt{16}\" title=\"sqrt{16}\"\/><\/td>\n<td>3.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A. is the correct answer.<br \/>\nThe square root of 16 (<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/wp-content\/plugins\/wpmathpub\/phpmathpublisher\/img\/math_993_d91efcf8bfb84706c0d57d19123c8c99.png\" style=\"vertical-align:-7px; display: inline-block ;\" alt=\"sqrt{16}\" title=\"sqrt{16}\"\/>) denotes the positive square root of 16 equals +4.
