Unit 19 Problem Solving Using Decomposition

What is the purpose of decomposition in problem-solving?

• To make problems more complicated

• To combine multiple problems into one

• To break down complex problems into manageable parts

• To create new problems from existing ones

What is the first step in problem-solving using decomposition?

• Combining all the smaller parts

• Ignoring the problem

• Breaking down the problem into smaller parts

• Finding the final solution immediately

Which analogy is used to describe decomposition in problem-solving?

• Solving a maze

• Assembling a jigsaw puzzle

• Baking a cake

• Writing a novel

How does decomposition help in problem-solving?

• By making problems more complicated

• By solving all parts simultaneously

• By breaking down complex problems into manageable parts

• By creating new problems

What is the main benefit of decomposition in problem-solving?

• It makes problems more complicated

• It allows for combining unrelated problems

• It simplifies complex problems by breaking them into manageable parts

• It adds complexity to problems

What should you focus on when solving a small part of a decomposed problem?

• Finding the final solution

• Combining solutions from other parts

• Ignoring it and moving to the next part

• Finding the solution for that specific part

What is the final step in problem-solving using decomposition?

• Breaking down the problem into smaller parts

• Ignoring all the parts

• Combining the solutions of all parts

• Finding the smallest part

Which strategy is NOT a part of problem-solving using decomposition?

• Combining all parts into one complex solution

• Focusing on one small part at a time

• Solving each small part separately

• Breaking down the problem

What is the primary purpose of breaking a problem into smaller parts?

• To make the problem more complex

• To combine unrelated problems

• To simplify complex problems for better understanding

• To add irrelevant details to the problem

In problem solving, decomposition allows the entire task to be completed as :

• A team

• One whole

• As quick as possible

• Individual components
