When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.
there are less than one-quarter that many
there are fewer than one-quarter as many
there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
the number is less than one-quarter the amount
it is less than one-quarter of that amount
要注意number和amount指代的不是一件事。number指代的是数字,amount指代的是数。在这道题中,number指代的是4000这类的数字,amount指代的是数量。
