When you have a 76% in math and you need to get your grade up to a b and daily assignments are 10% and quizzes are 80%. How will I get my grade up to a b in 5 weeks
Aim for 100% on all daily assignments. If you don't understand something, ask your teacher about it. Of course, you can also post occasional questions on Jiskha.
But don't count on Jiskha doing your work for you. In order to get 100% on quizzes, you must understand how to do all of the problems.
You're going to have to work hard. And remember -- practice, practice, PRACTICE!
Also, note that you have not said which numeric grade is equivalent to a B. Nor have you said how many items remain to be graded.
If you can't specify the requirements, how can you expect a solution?
To calculate how to raise your grade in math to a B within 5 weeks, we need to consider the weightage of daily assignments and quizzes.
Since daily assignments contribute 10% to your overall grade and quizzes contribute 80%, we can calculate the effect of each over a 5-week period.
First, let's determine how many total points are available from daily assignments and quizzes per week:
- Daily Assignments: If each daily assignment is worth a certain number of points, let's say, X points, then the total points available from daily assignments in a week will be 5X (assuming there are 5 school days in a week).
- Quizzes: Assume there will be Y quizzes in total over 5 weeks. If each quiz is out of 100 points, then the total points available from quizzes over the 5-week period will be 100Y.
Now, let's calculate the maximum number of points you can earn over 5 weeks:
- Maximum points from daily assignments: 5 weeks * 10% * 5X = 0.5X
- Maximum points from quizzes: 5 weeks * 80% * 100Y = 400Y
To achieve a B in your overall grade, you need to accumulate a certain number of points over the 5 weeks. The exact number of points required depends on the grading scale used by your school or instructor. Usually, a B corresponds to a range of percentages (e.g., 80-89%).
Let's assume a B corresponds to a range of 80-84%. In that case, you need to accumulate a percentage equivalent of 80-84% over the 5 weeks.
- Minimum required percentage for a B: 80% * (0.8 or 0.84) = 64-67.2%
To calculate the minimum number of points needed for a B:
- Minimum required points for a B: Minimum required percentage * Total points available over 5 weeks
Now you can calculate the minimum number of points needed. Substitute the values we calculated earlier for each component in the above formula. This will give you the minimum number of points you need to achieve over the 5-week period.
Keep in mind that this calculation assumes there are no other factors affecting your grade, such as exams or projects. It's essential to consider any additional assessments and how they impact your overall grade.
Remember, this is a general explanation of how to approach the problem. You may need to adjust the calculations based on the specific guidelines provided by your instructor or school.
