What are infinite quantities?

Infinite quantities are like having a never-ending bag of candy, you can always take more and never run out.

Imagine you have a jar full of jellybeans. If it’s a regular jar, you know how many jellybeans are inside. But if the jar is infinite, it has so many jellybeans that no matter how many you take out, there will still be plenty left, forever and ever!

What Makes Something Infinite?

Think about counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4... If you keep going like this, you'll never reach the end. That’s an infinite quantity, it goes on and on without stopping.

Now imagine two jars of jellybeans. One has regular jellybeans, and the other has giant jellybeans that take up more space. Even though they look different, both jars can still be infinite! Just like how you can have a never-ending line of ants or a sky full of stars, all of them can be infinite too.

In short, an infinite quantity is something that goes on forever and ever, no matter how much you use of it, there’s always more to come. Infinite quantities are like having a never-ending bag of candy, you can always take more and never run out.
