Answer 1

Answer: 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the grade point average you have to sum all the points of each course multiplying the hours and then diveded by the total number of hours she did.

She earned a grade B in her 4 hour topology course, so she has 3*4 points.

In her 11 hour gouvernment course, she earned a grade D, so she has 1*11 points. In the 2 hour biology course she earned a grade D, so she has 1*2 points and in her 3 hours studio art course she had also a grade D, so she has 1*3 points

She has done 3+2+11+4 hours of subjects=20.

The total average is (3*4+1*11+1*2+1*3)/20=28/20=1.4
