What situation/s describes a chaotic problem?
Covid-19
Fire breaking out at school
A Fight
Getting yelled at by classmates
Answer explanation
Whenever we see a situation in which many variables, people or things are actively participating in along with a problem that seems to have no solution it is a chaotic problem.
Why can't a fight be chaotic?
This is because we already have a solution to stop it. By breaking/ splitting a fight it can be stopped. If it isn't stopped an outcome of one or both parties being harmed can be foreseen.
