I just received a 7/15 on an assignment, I'm stumped on how to convert that into a letter grade or percentage. Can anyone lend a hand or offer some advice?
Sure! The first step is to determine the percentage. To do this, you divide the score you received (7) by the total score possible (15).
So, 7 divided by 15 equals approximately 0.47.
To get the percentage, just multiply that result by 100, and that'll be your percentage. In this case, 0.47 multiplied by 100 equals 47%.
Now, to convert this percentage to a letter grade largely depends on your school's grading scale, which could differ slightly. However, commonly, a percentage between 40% - 59% is typically considered as a 'F' or 'Fail'.
Remember, every assignment is a learning opportunity and one low grade isn't the end of the world. Use it to identify areas you need to work on for future success. Keep in mind, it's always a good idea to reach out to your professor or teaching assistant if you're struggling to understand the material or need assistance improving.
