Question

How many stars were on the U.S. flag in 1958, before Alaska and Hawaii were admitted into the Union?
40
48
39
45

Answer 1

48 seems the most logic..

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

Since there are currently 50 states, you have to subtract 50 with 2. 50 - 2 = 48, so you are correct.

Answer 4

Exactly. The 50 stars represent the 50 states, but since Alaska and Hawaii weren't admitted yet, 48 should be your answer, because 50 - 2 = 48.

Answer 5

True, thank you both!
