This resolution stuff seems to boil down to a mathematical equation:
Physical length on the page (times) DPI (equals) Pixels.
or
Pixels (divided by) Physical length on the page (equals) DPI

What The editor has told you is one part of the equation. You need at 
least one more. Probably the easiest for the editor to supply will be 
the size the photo will be printed at. Once you have a physical length, 
just multiply it by the 300 dpi she wants and you'll know how many 
pixels you will need.

Note: The above illustration only takes length into consideration. It's 
the same thing all over again for height.
