Because Paint uses a definition of 96DPI (726/7.56) which is very likely your assumed screen definition) while Gimp uses the print definition you have assigned to the image (300DPI).
But, as a said above the size in inches is completely irrelevant until you print. What really matters is the size in pixels.
