how to i resize a larger 72ppi image to better quality smaller image but for correct size to paste into flyer

Hi, I am trying to resize a larger 16cm wide image saved at 72dpi to a smaller better quality 5cm wide image for invites for an art exhibition I am having. I figure there must be lots of information in the pic given that it is large, I just want to condense it into a smaller image. If I adjust the size to 5 cm wide it changes the dpi to 230 which would be better for printing (the 72 dpi is way too grainy). However when I paste it into the flyer I am making in photoshop it pastes as a massive picture. I then tried to drag the corners in to make it the right size and it became even grainier than a 5cm wide 72dpi image. I hope that makes sense to someone. So basically I need a 5cm wide document size that I can put in my small flyer that is the best quality I can make it! Thanks in advance!

What PPI is the file you are trying to drag into?

Are you able to post your desktop showing both files..?

If you convert you 16cm/72ppi image to the 5cm/240ppi image and then save it. then check the ppi with the flyer. If the flyer is again large with a low res you'll get the cross over between them therefore the larger ppi image will appear large on the flyer document.

Up-sampling from 72ppi to 300-600ppi can result in blurry images. It's always best to start with a good quality, high resolution image if you can. Go to Image > Image Size. When up-sampling, use Bicubic Smoother setting. When down-sampling, use Bicubic Sharper. See screenshot.
