"how many" merely means "find the number" - it does not indicate any particular operation. You would need to examine the question further to determine what to do.
Examples
If 25 cookies are divided equally among 5 children, how many cookies would each child get ? (divide to find how many,)
If Al has 6 boxes of cookies and each box contains 115 cookies, how many cookies does Al have, ( multiply to find how many.)
