Ruby Ruby Basics (Retired) Ruby Methods Method Returns: Part 2

Cannot pass this challenge, yet my output seems correct

My code is giving me the output of: "The remainder of 3 divided by 6 is 3."

Although the result of that sum seems rather off, I still feel my code is producing the sentence as requested.

Thanks!

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  #write your code here
  puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a%b}."
end

puts mod(3, 6)

Replace "puts" for "return", the challenge asks you to return and not print.

def mod(a, b)
  #write your code here
  return "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a%b}."
end
