质疑OG对equal/equivalent与as many as的解释

132. According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation's four-year colleges and universities.

(A)  equivalent to the enrollment of

(B)  the equivalent of those enrolled in

(C)  equal to those who are enrolled in

(D)  as many as the enrollment of

(E)   as many as are enrolled in

OG10说答案是E，因为equal/equivalent首先所指的范围比较广，不仅仅形容数量上的关系，而且在形容数量时也是形容不可数名词的。在比较可数名词数量关系时，as many as是首选。

我的疑问在于我们不是也经常说3/2 equals to 1.5吗？或者说these two numbers are equal. 这是不是跟OG说的矛盾了呢？哪位高手可以帮忙理顺一下这个问题。谢谢了。
