In the given sentences, we need to determine whether to use "much" or "many" based on the countable or uncountable nature of the nouns being referred to.

1. "Salt" is an uncountable noun, so we use "much" to describe the quantity of salt. 2. "Cups" is a countable noun, so we use "many" to describe the number of cups. 3. "Pepper" is an uncountable noun, so we use "much" to describe the quantity of pepper. 4. "Coffee" is an uncountable noun, so we use "much" to describe the quantity of coffee. 5. "Letters" is a countable noun, so we use "many" to describe the number of letters.
