Answer 3

The conterminous, or contiguous, forty-eight states—all the states but Alaska and Hawaii—are also called the continental United States. Some include Alaska in the "continental" states, because, although it is separated from the "lower forty-eight" by Canada. Hawaii, the fiftieth state, is an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean.
The United States also holds several other territories, districts, and possessions, notably the federal district of the District of Columbia—which contains the nation's capital city, Washington—and several overseas insular areas (commonly known as the United States Minor Outlying Islands), the most significant of which are American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. Palmyra Atoll is the United States' only incorporated territory; but it is unorganized and uninhabited. In addition, since 1898, the United States Navy has leased an extensive naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

There are some people who wrongly think that there are 51 states and insist on counting the District of Columbia, which is not a state but a federal district. There are only 50.

I guess you could say it contains 48 states plus outside the continental United States there is Alaska and Hawaii which makes 50 altogether. Is that what you were asking?
