You learned that "The CPU interacts with memory in a process that is known as

the fetch-decode-execute cycle. An instruction gets fetched (brought up) from
memory, decoded (analyzed) in the control unit, and then executed (put into
action) by the ALU." Can you think of a comparison to something that happens in
real life that would make this process easier to understand and remember?

Answer:

okay this is going to be weird but hopefully it helps you go to a restaurant you use the menu to place an order the waiter analyzes the order and then it brings it to you

Step-by-step explanation:

so in other words the menu is bringing up what you want

the waiter is the person who analyzes the order

and then to put it to action is when you receive the order and eat it.

I know this is a weird analogy but I hope it helps
