1.Given the IPv4 address, 200.245.10.150/28, how many subnets are possible and how many hosts can be supported by each subnet

16 subnets and 14 hosts assignable IP addresses.

Explanation:

Computer networking is the interconnection and intercommunication of computer devices. These computer devices can be connected using cables or wirelessly. All devices in a network must have an IP address.

Subnetting a network is a process of preventing the waste of IP addresses for the purpose of security and cost. IP4 addresses are 32 bits in size (4 octets) and the host and subnet size is dependant on the host and network bit configuration.

The IP address 200.245.10.150/28 is a class A network address but subnetted to borrow four bits from the fourth octet to produce 16 subnets (2 ^ 4 bits borrowed) and 14 host IP addresses (2^ 4 bits remaining in the fourth octet - 2, which is the network and broadcast addresses).
