To determine the maximum print size at a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (ppi), you need to consider both the camera's pixel resolution and the desired print resolution. The camera in question has a total resolution of 3000 x 2400 pixels.

When printing at 300 ppi, you can calculate the maximum dimensions in inches by dividing the pixel dimensions by the pixels per inch.

  1. For the width:

[ \text{Width in inches} = \frac{\text{Width in pixels}}{\text{ppi}} = \frac{3000 \text{ pixels}}{300 \text{ ppi}} = 10 \text{ inches} ]

  1. For the height:

[ \text{Height in inches} = \frac{\text{Height in pixels}}{\text{ppi}} = \frac{2400 \text{ pixels}}{300 \text{ ppi}} = 8 \text{ inches} ]

Therefore, the maximum print size he can achieve at 300 ppi is 10 inches wide by 8 inches tall. This option aligns with a print dimension of 10" Tall x 8" Wide.

This calculation clarifies that the
