Magnifying Visors

How can i answer this optics question for physics?

The problem is as follows: A crude symmetric hand held microscope consists of two converging lenses each of focal length 5.0cm fastened in the ends of a tube 40cm long. What is the overal angular magnification of the microscope? Use a near point of 25cm. I need help with this problem i cant even find the equation that i should use. Thanks!
