You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use?
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248
Answer: Option
Explanation:
You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts-this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.

How 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets ,each with 30 hosts? how could it be?

224 = 11100000 in binary.

So (2^5)-2 = 32-2 = 30.

So 30 hosts.
