Answer 1

Answer: (20, 5) or (5, 20)

Explanation: An ordered pair is made up of a set of numbers, one number for each dimension, contained in a set of parenthesis and separated by commas. In this problem, there are two dimension; red beads and blue beads. The ordered pair is comprised of the number of red beads (20) and the number of blue beads (5). Following the format previously described we get the answer (20, 5). You can also write (5, 20) since neither number depends on the other.
