When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950’s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.

 

1. there are less than one-quarter that many
2. there are fewer than one-quarter as many
3. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

4. the number is less than one-quarter the amount
5. it is less than one-quarter of that amount

1. one-quarter the amount我认为是正确的表达，我们可以说 twice the size, 为什么不能说one-quarter the amount？

1. one-quarter the amount我认为是正确的表达，我们可以说 twice the size, 为什么不能说one-quarter the amount？

2.amount在ETS看来可数不可数呢？我们以前学的amount是不可数的

3.one-quarter as many 就是 one-quarter of that number的意思?

看到曾有个MM这样说的，求证是否正确

For example, He changed jobs four times in as many years means he changed jobs four times in four years.

amount一般作不可数，只有在表示sum时可数

好象没有给出答案。但我选C。因为 number不能用less修饰，只能用GREAT来修饰，  less只能修饰数量，不能修饰数目

Ding,

看了一下所有关于这个题的帖子，主要是B与C的选择。那位NN给个说法，都快考了！！我开始选的C,但是想到amount用于不可数名次，那就只能选b了！！但是觉得b读起来别扭。

 one-quarter the amount应是the one-quarter amount
