Answer:

The correct answer is 1128 fist bumps exchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each friend exchanges 47 fist bumps, one for each friend on the group.

If the group is made up of 48 friends, and each exchange is done by 2 friends, you have to divide by 2 each interaction:

(48 friends * 47 first bumps) / 2 friends = (2256 friends per first bumps exchanged) / 2 friends = 1128 fist bumps exchanged.
