How much money do you have? Or How much Tv do you watch?

[Sandy1]

Hello,
Many and much have a certain rule, Our teachers used to tell us that much uses with uncountable while many with countable, but when we ask them why in these two sentences:

How much money do you have? Or How much Tv do you watch? They do not have answers...
would any one answer me why we put much with these two sentences, although we can count the money and hours?

Would you please answer my question?

"Money" is an uncountable noun, so we say "much". However, in the answer, we use countable units, such as dollars, euros, pounds, renminbi, etc.

"TV" in the sense of time watching TV, is uncountable, so we say "much". However, we answer with a countable unit, usually hours.

Some questions about uncountable nouns have answers that require the use of countable nouns.
