    2/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Defining x the weight of each quarter grades (4x for the 4 quarter grades), then the weight of the mid-term exam grade is 2x, and the weight of the final exam is 4x. The addition of all grades is 4x + 2x + 4x = 10x (this represents the combination of grades that makes the final course grade).

    So, the final exam grade represents 4x/10x = 2/5 of the final course grade.
