Answer

The image is inverted because the image height is negative.

Steps

Step 1 :1f=1do+1di

Step 2 :112=128+1di

Step 3 :1di=112128

Step 4 :di=1112128

Step 5 :di=21cm

Step 6 :M=hiho=dido

Step 7 :hi=Mho

Step 8 :hi=21288.5

Step 9 :hi=6.4cm

Step 10 :M=6.48.5

Step 11 :M=0.75

Step 12 :The image is real because the image distance is positive.

Step 13 :The image is inverted because the image height is negative.
