The last 2 octets in class B for host address and here we have subnet mask 248 which mean that we have borrowed 5 bits from the second octet of the host side (8-3=3) and the final octet of the host address is fully dedicated.

Sso their full 8 bit is free now its easy just do (8+3=11, mean 2^11-2 = 2048 -2 = 2046.
