To determine a GPA: 2(credit( Hr. Art, 3Hr. History, 4 Hr. Science 3 Hr. Math, & 1 Hr. Science lab.
The scores were B in Art, A in History, C in Science, B in Math, A in Science Lab. What was the GPA based on 4 point scale? I continue to get 3.2 but that answer is incorrect, where am I going wrong?
Assuming that an A = 4 points, B = 3 and C = 2, take the number equivalent for each grade and multiply that by the number of credits for that course. Add up the total of these and divide this by the total number of credits.
You may be making a consistent mathematicql error. Getting away from the problem and starting at the beginning hours later might help with this.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To calculate your GPA based on a 4-point scale, you need to convert each grade to its corresponding numerical value. In this case, an A is assigned 4 points, a B is assigned 3 points, and a C is assigned 2 points.
Using the information you provided, let's calculate the points for each subject:
Art: B (3 points) x 2 credits = 6 points
History: A (4 points) x 3 credits = 12 points
Science: C (2 points) x 4 credits = 8 points
Math: B (3 points) x 3 credits = 9 points
Science Lab: A (4 points) x 1 credit = 4 points
Now, add up the total points: 6 + 12 + 8 + 9 + 4 = 39
Next, add up the total number of credits: 2 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 13
To find your GPA, divide the total points by the total credits: 39 / 13 = 3
Therefore, based on a 4-point scale, the GPA would be 3.
If you calculated a GPA of 3.2, it is possible that you made an error in either converting the grades to their numerical values or in the multiplication. Double-check your calculations to identify where the mistake may have occurred.
