Explanation:

Step1: Calculate weighted - grade for each course

For Math: $4.0\times5 = 20$
For Music: $1.8\times3=5.4$
For Chemistry: $3.0\times5 = 15$
For Journalism: $2.8\times5=14$

Step2: Calculate total weighted - grades

$20 + 5.4+15 + 14=54.4$

Step3: Calculate total credits

$5 + 3+5 + 5=18$

Step4: Calculate GPA

$GPA=\frac{54.4}{18}\approx3.02$
