Question

drag each computer function on the left with its associated hardware component on the right. (each option may be used more than once.) keyboard instructions drag drop input hard disk printer processing keyboard cpu long-term storage speakers ram output dvd-rw microphone

Explanation:

• Input: Devices that send data to the computer. Keyboard (types input), Microphone (captures audio input).
• Processing: Component that processes data. CPU (central processing unit does processing), RAM (temporary processing/storage but mainly for active data, but CPU is core for processing; however, sometimes RAM is involved in processing context, but CPU is primary. Wait, actually, CPU is the main processing unit. Wait, the options: CPU is processing, RAM is also part of processing (as it holds data for CPU to process). But let's correct: Input devices: Keyboard (types text), Microphone (audio input). Processing: CPU (does calculations, processing), RAM (stores data temporarily for processing). Long - term storage: Hard disk (stores data long - term), DVD - RW (can store data long - term). Output: Printer (prints output), Speakers (output audio).

So:

• Input: Keyboard, Microphone (these are input devices, send data into computer)
• Processing: CPU, RAM (CPU processes, RAM holds data for processing)
• Long - term storage: Hard disk, DVD - RW (store data for long periods)
• Output: Printer, Speakers (output data from computer)

Answer:

• Input: Keyboard, Microphone
• Processing: CPU, RAM
• Long - term storage: Hard disk, DVD - RW
• Output: Printer, Speakers
