Correct. 24 bits
(or the first three octets in dotted decimal notation...) are used to define the network portion of the IPv4 address.

First you said that the nics must be on seperate subnets 255.255.255.0 and then you said to make them both /24?

Subnets are defined by the network portion of the IPv4 address, & the network mask is needed to determine how many bits are in the network portion. It is perfectly acceptable that the subnets separated by a router all have the same network mask -- as long as the value of the network portion of the separate subnets are unique.
I highly recommend study of the IPv4 addressing whitepaper provided earlier. There appears to be a number of fundamental addressing rules you need to understand in order to implement routing correctly.
