Final answer:

To calculate the GPA, assign numerical values to each grade based on the given scale. Calculate the grade points for each class by multiplying the grade value with the credit hours. Add up the grade points and divide by the total credit hours to find the GPA.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the GPA, we need to assign each grade a numerical value based on the scale provided. According to the scale, an A is equivalent to 4.0, a B is equivalent to 3.0 and an F is equivalent to 0.0.

Now let's calculate the grade points for each class:

  • B grade: 3.0 x 4 hours = 12.0 grade points
  • A grade: 4.0 x 14 hours = 56.0 grade points
  • F grade: 0.0 x 17 hours = 0.0 grade points

Add up the grade points from all the classes: 12.0 + 56.0 + 0.0 = 68.0

Finally, divide the total grade points by the total credit hours: 68.0 / 35 = 1.94

The GPA of the student is 1.94 (rounded to two decimal places).
