document.write( "Question 564756: The camera has 10.1 million pixels. The product of the pixels across the screen times the pixels up the screen gives the number of pixels the camera has. The ratio of pixels across the screen to pixels up the screen is 4 : 3. How many pixels does this camera have across the screen?
