• Phrases that specify the amount of a noun that is mentioned in a sentence are referred to as "adjectives of quantity." They could be counted or they could be uncountable.
• A countable adjective of quantity is one that uses a specific number to signify the quantity of the noun in a sentence. This makes the adjective countable.
• In this instance, 1. three,  4. ninety 5. second, last and 6. five, third. are countable adjectives of quantity.  
• An uncountable adjective of quantity describes a situation in which a particular number cannot be used to signify the quantity in question, and the quantity in question is relative.
