Some guy wants to make some copies of photographs. He intends to use a scanner to capture the photographs and an ink jet printer to print the images.
A scanner i set to a resolution of 1200dpi using 24 bit colour depth and the photographs are 6 inches by 8 inches. Calculate the uncompressed size of the file. Express your answer in appropriate units.

The answer is supposed to be 197.8 MB but I'm struggling to work out how you'd get there.
I was thinking it was something like 1200 * (6*8) * 24
then dividing by 8 and then 1024 and 1024 again to get it in MBs, but I don't get the 197.8 MBs that's in the answers.
I know I'm missing something simple out so any help much appreciated :s
