In math "how much" is often the beginning of a question. What follows will give you more context as to how you should complete the question. For example, if the questions asks: How much time does it take to get from Point A to Point B (given that it provides you with the coordinates of these points and the units of time), you will then know that you're supposed to find the distance between these two points and figure out how long it takes to make that distance (of course the question will have more context for you to make an equation).

In math, "how much" refers to the quantity of something that cannot be counted, such as weight or volume. It differs from "how many," which is used for countable items. Understanding these terms is essential for accurate measurement and communication.
