In qualitative research, we ask broad questions, but in quantitative research, we ask direct questions. So, to convert a qualitative question in a quantitative one, we need to identify the answers ourselves with the help of the information available.
For eg., if the question in qualitative research is; what are the challenges you face while working in a team and if we need to convert it into a quantitative question then we first have to identify the challenges and then the question would be like this, Do you find communication a challenge while working in a team.
