Hello, just a quick question. Been slogging through some pretty tough work this semester and just got my results back. If I receive, say a 9 out of 11 on an assignment, what's that as a percentage? And how does a number like 9 out of 11 translate into a letter grade? Appreciate your insight!
Hey there! To convert your mark to a percentage, you should divide your score (9) by the total possible score (11), to get a fraction of your total score.
9 divided by 11 equals roughly 0.82. Multiplying this fraction by 100 gives us the percentage, so your score would convert to about 82%.
In terms of standard grading scales, every educator or institution may have slight variations, but based on a typical scale in the US:
- A: 90 - 100%
- B: 80 - 89%
- C: 70 - 79%
- D: 60 - 69%
- F: Below 60%
So, your score of approximately 82% would likely translate to a B!
Keep in mind that grading policies vary by school and professor, so I would recommend checking your syllabus or reaching out to your professor to confirm how they calculate grades.
