1, ==>During that time, female numbers were almost 9 times more X than male numbers.
( what's X? I can't just say " 9 times more than ")

2, people over 40 years old have an even percentage (50%) studying for interest and for career.

what's the function of this " as" ? Is here some expression? like, "not as much...... as"

Thanks again.

2. People over 40 studying for interest and for career show an even percentage at 50%.

3. The percentage for employees aged over 30 is 41%, and 35% for employees aged over 49.

"not as much...as" functions as a comparative.
Meaning, to the extent of which this is the same/not the same as that.

Similar to the way scientists decoded the human genome, eventually computer technicians will be able to discover the links between different languages and then the dream of AI translation will come true. :wink:

Way to go! :D

God, that's the difference between you two and me. 555 Even you just modified a little in my sentences, they could be changed very well.

You are gorgeous, but I'm pitiful.

This week I hope you can help me a lot.

Thanks a billion. It's so terrible before the deadline of exam.
