Optics focal length and optical power Question

[crystal1001]

Homework Statement

What is the focal length and optical power (in diopters) of the lenses used to produce the following pairs of object and image distances?

do = 1.0 m
di = 0.33 m

Relevant Equations

focal length: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di
Power (diopters): 1/fD

1/f = 1/dₒ + 1/dᵢ = 1/1.0 + 1/0.33 = 4.03 m (focal length)

Power: 1/4.03 m or 0.248 (0.25)

*around to the2 decimal points? or leave it as a fraction?

((Did I do this correctly? I am not sure if this is correct and is it okay to be in meters not centimeters?))
Please let me know!

Looks Ok to me! on this part. See next post by @ehild. Sorry.

The original numbers were 2 significant figures, so the answer should have the same, which you have. The same goes for the units, you matched what was given.

do = 1.0 m
di = 0.33 m
Homework Equations: focal length: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di
Power (diopters): 1/fD

1/f = 1/dₒ + 1/dᵢ = 1/1.0 + 1/0.33 = 4.03 m (focal length)

The focal length is f, not 1/f. 1/f is the power (diopters) if f is measured in meters.
