    The grades should be the same because the two exam scores are in the same location

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A class with a higher z-score shows a better grade.

    Z - score for Math exam

    Mean=μ=40

    Standard deviation=σ=5

    Observed value=X=45

    Z-score = (X-μ) / σ

    Z-score = (45-40) / 5

    Z-score=5/5

    Z-score=1

    Z - score for Spanish exam

    Mean=μ=60

    Standard deviation=σ=8

    Observed value=X=68

    Z-score = (X-μ) / σ

    Z-score = (68-60) / 8

    Z-score=8/8

    Z-score=1

    As, the z-score for both exams are same so, grades should be same.
