The correct formula is: 1.5 x (N-1) +1 where N is the score on a 7 point scale.
If you are considering a single ordinal variable, determining the mode or median would be meaningful, but the mean or SD would not. Many researchers do consider likert-scale data to possess only ordinal qualities. However, leading research studies, for example in the marketing area, obtain measures such as means and standard deviations from likert-scale data. Indeed leading textbooks also follow this approach. One concern has been that the 'distances' between points on a likert scale are not equal, for example the 'distance' or 'difference' between a strongly disagree and disagree is not the same as the difference between disagree and neutral. A recent study discusses these issues, as well as demonstrating that data obtained from 5-point, 7-point and 10-point likert scales are approximately comparable in terms of mean score (once re-scaled) and various measures of variation and data shape.

Wt is the formula to convert cgpa to percentage in 10 point scale
To convert 0.000486 into scientific notation, move the decimal point 3 places to the right to make it a number between 1 and 10. Thus, 0.000486 becomes 4.86 x 10^-4 in scientific notation.
To convert 1000000 into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, the decimal point would be moved six places to the left. Thus, 1000000 in scientific notation is written as 1.0 x 10^6.
The correct formula is: 1.5 x (N-1) +1 where N is the score on a 7 point scale.
You can readily convert data from a 5-point scale to a 10-point equivalent. The process is basically to anchor the end points of the scale you want to convert to the 10-point. So 1 stays as 1, 5 becomes 10. The points in between are converted like this: 2 becomes 3.25; 3 becomes 5.5; 4 becomes 7.75. Note that this assumes the data are "equal interval" (e.g. the distance between 1 and 2 is the same as between 2 and 3 on the scale). Many researchers are leery of this assumption but the leading texts on marketing research assume equal interval data for Likert-based data. A recent study in the International Journal of Market Research reported on an experiment where three groups of respondents gave answers on either a 5-point, 7-point or 10-point scale. After this re-scaling procedure, the three scales gave almost identical results. The study reference is: Dawes, John "Do Data Characteristics Change according to the Number of Scale Points Used ? An experiment using 5-point, 7-point and 10-point scales". International Journal of Market Research, Vol 50, 1, 2008.

Many researchers believe you should only report the results for individual likert items using the proportion of responses for each scale point. For example, 17% strongly agreed, 32% agreed, 10% neither agreed or disagreed and so on. The reason they say this is that likert data is not "equal interval" - the difference between strongly agree and agree is not the same as the difference between neutral and agree, for example. The data is said to be ordinal, not metric. However, this is actually not so much of an issue. Several research studies show have calculated the numerical difference between Likert-type scale points and showed they are very, very close to "equal interval". References for this are given in this paper: Dawes, John. "Do Data Characteristics Change According to the Number of Scale Points Used - an Experiment using 5-point, 7-point and 10-point scales", International Journal of Market Research Vol 50, no 1, 2008. In fact the data used for this experiment is available on the web, go to www.johndawes.com.au and click on "free data".
Wt is the formula to convert cgpa to percentage in 10 point scale
To convert 10% to decimal: 1. remove the % sign 2. divide 10 by 100 or simply move the decimal point two places to the left therefore 10% = 0.10 in decimal
CGPA Cumulative Grade Point Average 6.65 ÷ 10 × 100 = 66.5%
A decimal point and an understanding how its position is affected by multiplication or division by 10 (or powers of 10).
There are 10mm in a cm. Therefore to convert cm to mm, you need to multiply by 10. 9.9*10=99mm.
Divide by 1000, or multiply by 10-3, or move the decimal point 3 places to the left
To convert 0.000486 into scientific notation, move the decimal point 3 places to the right to make it a number between 1 and 10. Thus, 0.000486 becomes 4.86 x 10^-4 in scientific notation.
If you attend a school with a 10-point system of grading, the formula to convert it to a percentage is CGPA*9.3. For example, if your CGPA is 9.00, it would be 9.00*9.3 = 83.7 percent. CGPA stands for cumulative grade point average.
