Linda is building a new hotel with two wings. The first wing has 9 floors and each floor has 6 halls each with 32 rooms. The second wing has 7 floors each with 9 halls with 40 rooms each. How many rooms are in the hotel total?
Let's think step by step.
4248
First find the number of rooms per floor in the first wing: 32 rooms / hall * 6 halls / floor = 192 rooms / floor.

Then find the total number of rooms in the first wing by multiplying that number by the number of floors: 192 rooms / floor * 9 floors = 1728 rooms.

Then find the number of rooms per floor in the second wing: 40 rooms / hall * 9 halls / floor = 360 rooms / floor.

Then find the total number of rooms in the second wing by multiplying that number by the number of floors: 360 rooms / floor * 7 floors = 2520 rooms.

Then add the total number of rooms in each wing to find the overall total: 1728 rooms + 2520 rooms = 4248 rooms.

The final answer: 4248
