Upon closer examination, I see that, while I did the one subtraction correctly, I omitted the other. The corrected values are:
d_i = -48 - (glasses distance)
d_o = 27 - (glasses distance)
a) f = (-46*25)/(25 - 46) = 54.76190476...
focal length: 55 cm
b) f = (-45*24)/(24 - 45) = 51.42857143...
focal length: 51 cm
