I'm having problems understanding a school assignment

You have been assigned an IP address and subnet mask: 192.168.111.0 /24. Develop a subnet scheme using this address that will allow you to support two subnets of up to 30 clients each, and allow for growth to as many as 6 subnets in the future.

Subnet 1 (not subnet zero) will be used to provide a range of IP addresses for the Sales office users connected to a Cisco 2960 switch. The switch will connect to FastEthernet 0/0 interface on the core router. Subnet 2 will be used to provide a range of IP addresses connected to the FastEthernet 0/1 interface of the core router for the Business office users. The router IP addresses on the Fast Ethernet ports for both networks will be the last useable IP address from the respective network. The Sales and Business office each will have one printer per network. It will be assigned the first useable IP address for the respective networks.

It reads to me that you must:

• subnet the /24 into smaller subnets to satisfy the initial two subnets requirement, with potential for further additional subnets.
• You must calculate the available addresses in each subnet then assign those to the switchports as required in the second paragraph.

Hope this helps.
