im doing some revision about lenses and here's something i don't quite understand.

if you're given the focal length of an object, say 40cm and you know that focal length equal 1/power how would you work out the power because you would do 1 x 0.4 (for metres) but that jsut equals 0.4 and that can't be right can it?
