Question

in one common system for finding a grade - point average, or gpa, a = 4, b = 3, c = 2, d = 1, f = 0. the gpa is calculated by multiplying the number of credit hours for a course and the number assigned to each grade, and then adding these products. then divide this sum by the total number of credit hours. because each course grade is weighted according to the number of credits of the course, gpa is called a weighted mean. calculate the gpa for this transcript. the grade point average is □. (round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) grades # of credit hours b 2 b 4 b 4 c 3

Explanation:

Step1: Assign point - values to grades

Since $A = 4$, $B=3$, $C = 2$, for the grades $B,B,B,C$, the point - values are $3,3,3,2$ respectively.

Step2: Calculate the weighted products

Multiply the grade - point value by the number of credit hours for each course.
For the first $B$ (2 credit hours): $3\times2 = 6$.
For the second $B$ (4 credit hours): $3\times4=12$.
For the third $B$ (4 credit hours): $3\times4 = 12$.
For the $C$ (3 credit hours): $2\times3=6$.

Step3: Sum the weighted products

$6 + 12+12 + 6=36$.

Step4: Calculate the total number of credit hours

$2 + 4+4 + 3=13$.

Step5: Calculate the GPA

Divide the sum of the weighted products by the total number of credit hours. GPA=$\frac{36}{13}\approx2.77$.

Answer:

$2.77$
