Answer:

- 0.0466666667

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question above that:

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lens. The image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens.

The formula for Magnification of an image = - image distance / object distance

Image distance = 3.50 cm

Object distance = 75 cm

Magnification = - 3.5/75

= -0.0466666667

= Approximately = -0.0467

Therefore, the magnification of the image is -0.0467
