forty-eight
Six times eight
Forty-eight is the cardinal number between forty-seven and forty-nine, written as 48.
It appears in various standard contexts: a forty-eight-hour waiting period, the lower forty-eight states (the contiguous United States excluding Alaska and Hawaii), or the forty-eight contiguous.
Give me forty-eight hours to think it over.
