US letter grades and GPA: scale and example
On the standard US scale, a percentage score (0–100) lands in a letter grade: A 93–100, A- 90–92, B+ 87–89, B 83–86, B- 80–82, C+ 77–79, C 73–76, C- 70–72, D 60–69, F below 60. Each letter then carries a grade point on the 4.0 GPA: A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. A plus or minus shifts the value by 0.3, though A+ is usually held at 4.0. Example: a Brazilian student sitting at 8.5 (out of 10) scales to 85%, which is letter B, so GPA 3.0.
Applications
US university admissions: undergraduate and graduate programs report GPA on a 4.0 scale, so a foreign applicant has to convert the transcript first. BR-to-US conversion: the usual move is to multiply the Brazilian CR (0–10) by 10 to get a percentage, then read off the letter. Exchange programs: ISEP, Fulbright, CAPES-PrInt and the like ask for a GPA equivalence when they screen candidates. Internal use: a handful of Brazilian schools and bilingual institutions just run the US scale directly.
FAQ
Is there a single official conversion? No. WES (World Education Services) has its own table, and so does each university. The scale shown here is just the most widely accepted reference.
What about weighted GPA? US high schools tend to bump up the GPA for AP/honors classes (A in AP = 5.0). At college level it is usually unweighted.
Is D a passing grade? At many institutions, technically yes. But most graduate programs want a C or higher in the courses that matter for your major.

Equilibrium Constant from Conversion
Compute the equilibrium constant of a simple A ⇌ B reaction from the equilibrium conversion, Keq = X/(1 − X), where X is the fraction of reactant converted when the reaction reaches equilibrium. It shows the direct relation between how far a reaction 'goes' and its Keq: high conversions (X→1) imply a large Keq (favorable reaction); X = 0.5 gives Keq = 1 (equilibrium in the middle). Enter the equilibrium conversion (fraction).

Reactor Conversion (Batch)
Compute a reactant's conversion, X = (C₀ − C)/C₀·100%, the fraction of reactant consumed in the reaction, from the initial (C₀) and final (C) concentrations. Conversion is the fundamental measure of a chemical reaction's progress: 0% means nothing reacted, 100% that the reactant is exhausted. Together with selectivity and yield, it defines a reactor's performance. Enter the initial and final concentrations.
Tex ↔ Ne Conversion
Convert a yarn count from the Tex (direct) system to Ne (English count, indirect), Ne = 590.5/Tex. In the Ne system, unlike Tex, the higher the number the <em>finer</em> the yarn — so they are inversely proportional. Ne is traditional in cotton spinning. The conversion is essential to compare yarns specified in different systems. Enter the count in Tex.
