Hi everyone, so I received a 9/12 on an assignment. Excuse my ignorance but how would I go about converting that fraction into a grade? Grateful for any tips or explanations!
Hello there! No worries, the calculation you're looking to do is fairly simple.
When converting fractions to a grade, what you are essentially doing is determining the percentage you received out of the total possible score.
Here is the formula you need: (Your score / Total possible score) x 100.
For your specific case, plug the numbers into the formula like this: (9 (your score) / 12 (total possible score)) x 100.
So, your grade would be approximately 75% (rounding to the nearest whole number for simplicity). It's essentially like saying you scored 75 out of a possible 100 points.
That's it! This formula can be used for any assignment or test, no matter how many total points there were. Just make sure to plug in your score and the total possible score correctly.
