Answer:

1 bean in each bag with a remainder of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first thing you want to do is divide 12 by 8 since the word problem gives you key word DISTRIBUTES meaning divide. When you divide you will get 1.5 or 1  and 3r. You can't put half a bean in a bag and 3 beans are left over and you dont have enough beans for a second round. Hope this helped!
