"quanto" is not the same as "quando" (when)

The question is :
"How do you rate..."
"con la formula", with the form.

Excuse me but doesn't "quanto" means how much?

Hi Aneta B. ! Your translation is almost OK for me

Just one observation: "Quanto", should normally be translated by "How much" Only if the original text is "Come", meaning "In che modo", the word "How" is enough

Thank you Ianut and Maybe! Yes indeed, should be "how much", but maybe we should change the verb in this case, because "evalute" doesn't fit to "how much" I guess?

"How much do you appreciate..."?

Even in this case I would make a distinction:

1) if "quanto valuti questo oggetto... " has to be intended in the sense you wrote, it could even be ok ---> "How much do you appreciate (or estimate, or assess..." ;

2) if the same phrase asks about an evaluation, an amount, a ratio, a level of value, maybe I would translate it "How do you value (or "price" or "appraise" )..."

Anyway English experts could give a better and definite... evaluation about this subject!

Hi guys, sometimes we have to "adapt" a sentence when rendering it into another language.
True that 'quanto' means 'how much', but in English 'how much' is usually used together with the verb 'to be' (how much is/was, etc).
Since here we will have to use 'value', the most natural structures for the sentence keeping the meaning would be indeed:

"How do you rate/value...."
