Explanation:
This question requires a bit of subnetting. An excellent resource to learn this is http://www.learntosubnet.com.
Now the part we have to look into is the subnetmask 255.255.255.248. The subnetmask defines which hosts are in the same subnet or not. In this case we look at 248. First we must convert this decimal number do the binary format. 248 decimal is : 11111000 in binary. As you can see the first 5 bits are 1’s , so we have 3 bits left for our hosts. So we can 000 till 111 for our hosts. Lets convert that back to decimal 000 = 0 and 111 = 7 in decimal format. In this scenario we count from 0 to 7 so that will be 8 hosts.
