We visited five countries in as many days (=in five days). *: "twice as many", "one-quarter as many", etc.都是非常常见的用法，记住这样的表达。

there are fewer than one-quarter as many (as there were in the late 1950s)； fewer修饰可数名词正确；one-quarter在此做副词修饰as many，后面不用再加of，类似于twice as many/much as。

From 曼哈顿： I found the explanation of "as many" in Longman Dictionary: as many=a number that is equal to another number

句子补全之后应该是 but today there are fewer than one-quarter as many as there were in the late 1950s

amount用于修饰不可分割的物体，即修饰不可数名词，因为4000 drive-ins是4000个不同的个体所以that amount不可以修饰4000.less或fewer的选用取决于Y是否可数，本题的比较对象是drive-ins。既然全句比较的是可数名词，相应地，需要用are、fewer和many/number等与可数名词复数形式相一致的表述。

fewer many number 可数， less amount 不可数

1. 為一固定用法: as many = a number that is equal to another number 2.為一省略: 還原後為there are fewer than one-quarter as many drive-ins as are there in the 1950's

as many,指代前文的一个数字。
Nefertari1208 2016-11-06 21:47:16
4000这个单独的数字不可能existed in the United States，且数字可以做代词，故4000指代了4000 drive-ins，后面要用复数形式的谓语动词。
