Answer explanation

The correct answer is 24 . The equation 24xny=4 can be rewritten as 24nxy=4. It's given that x y = 4 . Substituting 4 for x y in the equation 24nxy=4 yields 24n4=4. Multiplying both sides of this equation by n yields 244=4n. Dividing both sides of this equation by 4 yields 24 = n . Therefore, the value of n is 24 .
