Question

Patty has just completed her second semester in college. She earned a grade of Upper D in her 5​-hour discrete math ​course, a grade of Upper B in her 3​-hour sociology ​course, a grade of Upper C in her 1​-hour engineering ​course, and a grade of Upper B in her 5​-hour philosophy course. Assuming that A equals 4 points, B equals 3 points, C equals 2 points, D equals 1 point, and F is worth no points, determine Patty’s grade point average for the semester.

Answer 1

Answer:

Grade Point Average = 2.21

Step-by-step explanation:

GPA (Grade Point Average) would be:

multiplying the individual point with respective credit hours and SUMMING THEM

Then

dividing all of them by the total number of credit hours

Hence,

5(1) + 3(3) + 1(2) +5(3) = 5 + 9 + 2 + 15 = 31  [note: the numbers in parenthesis is the points and outside the parenthesis is the credit-hours]

Now

total credit hours is 5 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 14

GPA = 31/14 = 2.21
