The GPA is calculated by multiplying each grade by its corresponding credit hours, summing those products, and then dividing by the total number of credit hours. For the given grades and credit hours: (B=3, A=4, C=2, D=1), the calculation is: [(3*4) + (3*5) + (4*1) + (2*5) + (1*4)] / (4+5+1+5+4) = (12+15+4+10+4) / 19 = 45 / 19 = 2.37.
