Determining Binocular Powers

determining binocular powers
Stuck on last physics question. =(?

37. Determine the magnification power of a lens by focusing on the lines of a ruled piece of paper. Count the spaces between the lines that fit into one magnified space, and you have the magnification power of the lens. For example, if three spaces fit into one magnified space, then the magnification power of the lens is 3. Describe how you can do the same with binoculars and a distant brick wall.

So…idk it doesn’t say what lens. Am I just supposed to get one and do it? :/ And..it says to describe how you can do the same with binoculars and a distant brick wall. I would say..i would count how many rows of bricks fit into the space of the binoculars.

How would you word it?

for a start the lens is convex and try drawing a light ray diagram that way you can work out all the facts with out leaving the house.
