#8sqrt(6)#

Explanation:

You treat the square root and the natural number differently. First you multiply the #2# and #4#, and then you do the math inside the square root which would be #3# and #2#. Then you put them together, and you get the answer.

#2sqrt(3) * 4 sqrt(2) = 2 * 4 * sqrt(3 * 2) = 8 sqrt(6)#
