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. $$\begin{array}{l|c|c} & & \text { Number of } \\\text { Course } & \text { Grade } & \text { Credit-Hours } \\\text { Intermediate Algebra } & \mathrm{B} & 4 \\\hline \text { Theater } & \mathrm{C} & 1 \\\hline \text { Music Appreciation } & \mathrm{A} & 3 \\\hline \text { World History } & \mathrm{D} & 5 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Step 1

This gives us the total points for each course. For Intermediate Algebra, the grade is B which is equivalent to 3.0 and the course is 4 credit hours. So, the total points for this course is $3.0 \times 4 = 12.0$. For Theater, the grade is C which is equivalent Show more…

Key Concepts

Grade Point Average (GPA)

A GPA is a numerical measure that summarizes a student's academic performance by converting letter grades into numerical values and averaging them, often taking into account the weight of each course through credit hours.

Numerical Value Assignment

This is the process of converting qualitative letter grades into quantitative numerical values based on a predefined scale, which is essential for performing mathematical calculations like GPA.

Weighted Average

A weighted average takes into account the relative importance or credit hours of each course when calculating the overall average, ensuring that courses with more credit hours have a greater impact on the final GPA.

Rounding

Rounding involves adjusting a numerical value to a specified level of precision—in this case, to the hundredths place—which standardizes the presentation of the GPA.
