Out of 15.
sir how do you do 4? i know what the answer is but only cause my book tells me how many bits per pixel 65,536 colours can be used, whats the calculation that you do?
The trick in this question is to workout the number of pixels in the length and breadth, from there on in, it’s just like last weeks homework.
