question 10 of 10
which step comes first when solving a problem?
a. ask a question
b. form a hypothesis
c. collecting data
d. organize the data

Explanation:

In the scientific method (relevant to problem - solving in many contexts), the first step is to identify the problem by asking a question. Forming a hypothesis (B) comes after identifying the question, as a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for the question. Collecting data (C) and organizing data (D) are steps that occur after the question is asked and a hypothesis is formed, as data collection is done to test the hypothesis. So the first step in problem - solving is to ask a question.

Answer:

A. Ask a question
