Teacher Re: Nouns The numbers are numerals, belonging to determiners: http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/determiner.html

In your sentence, they are modiifying the nouns and so aren't nouns.

Re: Nouns Isn’t the answer “five”?
There are five nouns in the sentence, that is, “CDs”, “MDs”, “DVDs”, “collection”, and “house”. I’m not confident, though…We sometimes have catchy questions like that. If I’m wrong, I’m so sorry in advance!
