I have an upcoming exam in networks communication. One of the available tasks for training on subnetting is the following:

Suppose you are an ISP with a 132.1.32.0/24 address block. If 2 customers require addresses for 127 and 60 computers respectively. Do the address assignment.

Don't i need 1 bit for subnets and then will have only 126 hosts per subnet since 2^7-2 = 126 ,therefor not being able to satisfy the customer demanding 127 hosts.

Or is there some other way to solve this that have passed me by ?

i'm not sure if that's the right answer for your exam but i would give 2 subnets to customer1:

subnet one: 132.1.32.0/25
subnet two: 132.1.32.128/30

and for customer2 i would start at the end of the /24 block 

subnet: 132.1.32.192/26
