The correct option is A 3
We will solve this problem by using repeated subtraction.

Total number of candies = 12 Number of candies left after filling the first packet
= 12 − 4 = 8
Number of candies left after filling the second packet = 8 − 4 = 4
Number of candies left after filling the third packet = 4 − 4 = 0

So, Anas divides 12 candies into 3 packets with 4 candies each.
