There are different ways to compare quantities. When you are comparing quantities that are the same, the quantity adjective depends on the type of noun that is being compared. The types of nouns are countable and uncountable nouns.
Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted as one or more. To compare countable nouns, use "as many + countable noun or noun phrase + as" or "as few + countable noun or noun phrase + as" to indicate same quantities.
Uncountable nouns are nouns that cannot be counted. To compare uncountable nouns, use "as much + uncountable noun or noun phrase + as" or "as little + uncountable noun or noun phrase + as" to indicate same quantities.
