What is the total distance between object and image?

A thin, bi-convex lens is to focus an image onto a screen such that the image is life-size. The lens has two equal radii of 120 cm, and a refractive index of n = 1.3.
That's all the info given. I can calculate for focal length and I get 200 cm(correct me if i'm wrong), but don't know what to do from there. The answer, btw, is supposed to 800 cm. Thank you!

You are correct, f = 200cm
Since the image is life-sized, l = l'
1/l + 1/l' = 1/f
2/l = 1/200
l = 2 * 200 = 400 cm
The question asks the distance between the object and the image = l + l` = 2l = 800 cm.
