Reality Check

What are the pixel dimensions of a 5x7-inch photograph scanned at 400 dpi? Answer (check one):

2,000 x 2,800 pixels

Right!

The pixel dimensions are 2,000 x 2,800. You can derive them by multiplying the dpi by the width (400 x 5 = 2,000) and then the dpi by the height (400 x 7 = 2,800).
