I don't understand why you're having such problems with this.  An 8X10 image @ 300 dpi 
is a 2400 X 3000 pixel image.  Resize this image to whatever pixel dimensions you want 
for display purposes.  You're confusing yourself with the 72dpi.  That's irrelevant.  
Don't worry about it.

For a 5X7 @ 300 dpi, you'd have to resample your image to 1500 * 2100 pixels.

For a 4X6 @ 300 dpi, you have 1200 * 1800 pixels.
