Let's assume that your friend is transferring to a four-year institution with a 3.5 GPA and 60 credit hours. During the first year at the new college, your friend takes 30 credits and earns a 2.9 GPA. Use the following processes to help your friend determine their overall GPA (combining the community college and four-year university credits). First, follow the steps below to use the weighted average method to find your friend's combined GPA. Part A: How many total points were earned at the community college? points Part B: How many total points were earned at the four-year institution? points Part C: How many total points were earned at the two institutions? points Part D: What is the total number of credit hours successfully completed at the two institutions? 90 total credit hours Part E: Recall that GPA = (total points)/(total credit hours). What is your friend's overall GPA? Round to the nearest tenth. Overall GPA =

A student earned grades of A, B, B, C, and A. Those courses had the corresponding numbers of credit hours 1, 1, 2, 3, and 1. The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as follows: A = 4; B = 3; C = 2; D = 1; F = 0. Compute the grade point average (GPA) as a weighted mean and round the result with two decimal places. If the Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or greater, did this student make the Dean's list? The grade point average is _. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Did this student make the Dean's list? A. No because the student has at least one grade less than 3 B. Yes because at least two of the student grades are B or above C. No because the students GPA is not 4.0 D. No because the student's GPA is less than 3.0

A college student took 4 courses last semester. His final grades, along with the credits each class is worth, are as follows: B (3), A (4), B (2), and C (3). The grading system assigns quality points as follows: A: 4; B: 3; C: 2; D: 1; and F: 0. Find the student's GPA for this semester. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth (three decimals).

A Grade Point Average (GPA) is another kind of weighted average. Letter grades are assigned a number value in order to calculate a numerical average. To calculate your GPA divide the total number quality points earned (a 4 hour A earns 16 quality points) by the total number of registered credits. This table shows typical point values: A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | C- | D+ | D | D- | F 4.0 | 3.7 | 3.3 | 3.0 | 2.7 | 2.3 | 2.0 | 1.7 | 1.3 | 1.0 | 0.7 | 0 A Kent State University student has earned 50 credits towards his degree but has a GPA of just 1.75. The registrar's office has informed this student that he is on probation and will be suspended unless his overall GPA is at least 2.0 after the fall term. (a) If he takes 15 credit hours this fall what is the minimum GPA he must earn this semester in order to avoid being suspended? (Round to 2 decimal places)? (b) Would an A- in a 4-hour class, a C+ in a 5-hour class, a B- in a 3-hour class and a B+ in a 3-hour class yield at least this GPA (yes or no) ?
