Question

find the grade point average. assume that the grade point values are 4 points for an a, 3 points for a b, and 2 points for a c, 1 point for a d, and 0 points for an f.
grade credit hours
b 4
c 5
a 3
c 2

the grade point average is
(round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify grade points and credit hours

• Grade B: 3 points, 4 credit hours
• Grade C: 2 points, 5 credit hours
• Grade A: 4 points, 3 credit hours
• Grade C: 2 points, 2 credit hours

Step2: Calculate total grade points

For each grade, multiply points by credit hours:

• B: \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \)
• C: \( 2 \times 5 = 10 \)
• A: \( 4 \times 3 = 12 \)
• C: \( 2 \times 2 = 4 \)

Total grade points: \( 12 + 10 + 12 + 4 = 38 \)

Step3: Calculate total credit hours

Sum credit hours: \( 4 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 14 \)

Step4: Calculate grade point average (GPA)

GPA = \( \frac{\text{Total grade points}}{\text{Total credit hours}} = \frac{38}{14} \approx 2.71 \)

Answer:

\( 2.71 \)
