Solution
To solve `1/0.2`, you need to remove the decimal from the denominator.
Step 1: Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by 10 to shift the decimal point one place to the right.
`P = (1 × 10)/(0.2 × 10)`
Step 2: Simplify the fraction `P = 10/2`
Step 3: Divide 10 by 2. P = 5
So, the final power of the lens is 5 D.
