Translation of 'As far as'

As far as food, I looked for restaurants... is translated as 'En cuanto a la alimentación' or 'Con respecto a la alimentación'

This is useful language but I can't find any lesson that references this structure. Is there one?

The nearest I can find is 'Preposition + lo que + clause' which would lead to:

En lo que respecta a la alimentación. Is that possible?

Gracias

Vosotros question in Latin America version

Hola. Solo para que sepan...

Esta pregunta apareció en el Quiz. Mi cuenta tiene la versión latinoamerica activada, y normalmente no vemos preguntas sobre conjugaciones de vosotros porque no la usamos.

Es probable que ________ en el intento.It's possible that you'll die trying.(HINT: Using the "vosotros" form, conjugate "morir" in El Presente de Subjuntivo.)

Hola! Would it be possible to have examples with each word? I find it difficult to contextualise without a sentence. Gracias!

unos cuarenta(s) países

"Yo visité unos cuarentas países cuando era joven" (taken from a test, correct answer), pero "unos ochenta minutos".

I would have expected that "unos cuarenta países" is correct. Why isn't it?

All Spanish adjectives that end in -e or -a in their masculine form are invariable

This is a quote from kwiziq that is supposed to be explanatory, but it does not suggest a rule to know which adjectives have this form of ending. How are we to know which adjectives have this irregularity? Why can they not just follow the regular formula?
