Question

Homework: 3.1 Testion 11, O Points: 0 of 2 lan ook One common system for computing a grade point average (GPA) assigns 4 points to an A, 3 points to a B, 2 points to a C, 1 point to a D, and 0 points to an F. What is the GPA of a student who gets an A in a 3-credit course, a B in each of two 4-credit courses, a C in a 3-credit course, and a D in a 4-credit course? unch The mean grade point score is 3.11 (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answer 1

For calculating the GPA, first, calculate the quality points for each grade and course and then add them up like shown below:

A - 4 points x 3 credit hours = 12

B - 3 points x 4 credits hours =12

B - 3 points x 4 credits hours = 12

C -2 point x 3 credits hours = 6

D - 1 point x 4 credit hours= 4

Now add up all the quality points :

`3(12)+6\text{ + 4 = 46}`

Add the credit hours as well :

`4+4+4+3+3\text{ = 18}`

now, divide the total quality points by total credit hours to get the GPA:

`(46)/(18)=\text{ 2.55}\approx2.6`

we can conclude that the correct answer is:

`2.6`
