A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two students, four time as many than there were four years ago.

answer C there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two students, four times as many than there were is correct, but can someone tell me again why "than there were" is correct?

It seems the subject is singular, but why are we using 'were'?

I need a explanation about it too, because I don't have it clear.
