Question

negin received the following grades for her second semester in college. if an a is equivalent to 4.0, a b to 3.0, and a c to 2.0, what was her gpa? round your answer to one decimal place. class: spanish i, physics, lab, calculus ii, civics; credits: 3, 3, 2, 4, 2; grade: c, a, b, b, a. a. 3.1 b. 2.9 c. 3.4 d. 3.2

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate grade - credit products

For Spanish I: \(3\times2 = 6\) (since grade C = 2.0)
For Physics: \(3\times4=12\) (since grade A = 4.0)
For Lab: \(2\times3 = 6\) (since grade B = 3.0)
For Calculus II: \(4\times3=12\) (since grade B = 3.0)
For Civics: \(2\times4 = 8\) (since grade A = 4.0)

Step2: Calculate total grade - credit and total credits

Total grade - credit: \(6 + 12+6 + 12+8=44\)
Total credits: \(3 + 3+2 + 4+2=14\)

Step3: Calculate GPA

GPA=\(\frac{44}{14}\approx3.1\)

Answer:

A. 3.1
