Answer 1

After converting Tom's letter grades to their numerical equivalents multiplying by their respective credit hours, summing those products, and dividing by the total number of credit hours, Tom's GPA is calculated to be 3.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Tom's GPA, we need to assign each grade a numerical value, multiply each by the credit hours for the course, sum these values, and then divide by the total number of credit hours. The grade conversion is usually A=4, B=3, C=2, and so on. Here's the breakdown:

• PSY 150: 3 credit hours x A (4 points) = 12 points
• PED 121: 1 credit hour x C (2 points) = 2 points
• BIO 111: 4 credit hours x B (3 points) = 12 points
• ACA 122: 1 credit hour x B (3 points) = 3 points

Add the points: 12 + 2 + 12 + 3 = 29 total points

Now, divide the total points by the total credit hours: 29 points / 9 credit hours = 3.22 GPA

Therefore, Tom's GPA is 3.22.
