Final answer:

The number of assignable IP addresses depends on the prefix length in the CIDR address.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is related to IPv4 addressing in networking. The CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) address is a notation used to represent IP addresses and their associated networks. In CIDR notation, the number of assignable IP addresses in a given network can be determined by calculating 2^(32-prefix length) - 2.

Since the prefix length is not provided in the question, it is not possible to determine the exact number of assignable IP addresses. However, if we assume a /24 CIDR address (e.g., 192.168.0.0/24), there would be 256 assignable IP addresses (2^8 - 2).
