This question-specific review guide is tied to the answer reasoning for a PracticeTestVault item. Use it after you answer the question so the review stays focused on what the prompt actually tested.
What this question is testing
Objective: Whole number operations
Prompt focus: A hospital floor has 6 wings, and each wing has 14 patient rooms. How many patient rooms are on the floor in total?
Why the correct answer works
84 rooms
Six wings multiplied by 14 rooms each equals 84 rooms.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails
Incorrect. 72 would be 6 times 12, not 6 times 14.
Plain-language takeaway
Multiply the number of wings by the rooms per wing: 6 times 14 equals 84 rooms.
Simple analogy
Think of whole number operations like following a short checklist: identify the clue, confirm the rule, and then make the move that fits this exact scenario.
