Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the weighted grade points for each course

For Math: \(5\times3.7 = 18.5\)
For Music: \(2\times2.6=5.2\)
For Chemistry: \(5\times2.8 = 14\)
For Journalism: \(4\times2.9=11.6\)

Step2: Calculate the total weighted grade points

\(18.5 + 5.2+14 + 11.6=49.3\)

Step3: Calculate the total number of credits

\(5 + 2+5 + 4=16\)

Step4: Calculate the GPA

\(\text{GPA}=\frac{49.3}{16}=3.08125\)

Answer:

\(3.08\)
