Q:

You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each wit at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use?

A) 255.255.255.192 B) 255.255.255.224
C) 255.255.255.240 D) 255.255.255.248
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 255.255.255.224

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.
