Question

Use the numerical values assigned to grades to compute GPA. Round each GPA to the hundredths place. $$\begin{array}{llll}\mathrm{A}=4.0 & \mathrm{~B}+=3.5 & \mathrm{~B}=3.0 & \mathrm{C}+=2.5 \\ \mathrm{C}=2.0 & \mathrm{D}+=1.5 & \mathrm{D}=1.0 & \mathrm{~F}=0.0\end{array}$$ Compute the GPA for the following grades. Round to the nearest hundredth. $$\begin{array}{l|c|c}\hline & & \text { Number of } \\\text { Course } & \text { Grade } & \text { Credit-Hours } \\\text { (Weights) }\end{array}$$

Step 1

This gives us the total points for each course. For a B+ in a 3 credit hour course, we have $3.5 \times 3 = 10.5$ points. For a C in a 4 credit hour course, we have $2.0 \times 4 = 8.0$ points. For an F in a 1 credit hour course, we have $0.0 \times 1 = 0.0$ Show more…

Key Concepts

Grade Scale Conversion

Grade scale conversion is the process of substituting letter grades with their corresponding numerical values based on a predetermined scale, which is essential for calculating the GPA.

Grade Point Average (GPA) Calculation

GPA is computed as the average of grade points earned, adjusted for the weight of each course. This involves multiplying the numerical value of the grade by the course credit hours and dividing the total by the sum of the credit hours.

Weighted Average

A weighted average accounts for the magnitude or importance (in this context, credit hours) of different items. Courses with higher credit hours have a larger impact on the final GPA.

Rounding

Rounding involves adjusting numerical values to a specific degree of precision, in this case, to the nearest hundredth, ensuring the computed GPA is expressed in a standardized format.
