well its quite simple..................
just measure the length of the object from any 2 points n then measure the magnified object from the same points..
the formula for magnification is: length of the magnified object/ actual length

that is magnified /original e.g. 12 cm/ 6 cm = magnification 2 = answer


REMEMBER: always give your answer with  A CROSS OR MULTIPLICATION SIGN in front of the answer
