Answer:

Be sure you understand two optics principles: the focal length of a convex mirror is NEGATIVE (by convention) and R / 2 = f.

Find f, take its negative, plug in the mirror equation and obtain Di = - 24 cm. This indicates that the image is virtual (as it should be in a convex mirror), is erect (as all virtual images are), is diminished (as it should be) and INSIDE the mirror as it should be.
