Are these hosts the same subnet why

Section 5 Subnetting
Documentation Task 2.
Determine the number of bits that need to be borrowed from the host portion of the network address and the number of bits that will be left for host addresses.
| Subnet number |
Subnet ID bits |
Host bits binary range |
Last octet binary range | Last octet decimal range | IP range | Usable |
| 0 | ||||||
| 1 | ||||||
For the subnets you defined how many bits in total represent the network portion of the IP address?
For the subnets you defined how many bits are left in the fourth octet for host IDs?
Why can’t the lowest and highest address in each subnet be used?
What is the maximum number of hosts that can be defined for all subnets with this scenario if the all 0’s and all 1’s subnets cannot be used but all others can be? Assume the lowest and highest host ID in each subnet cannot be used.
