Cant get the answer to this challenge

In the previous challenge, we wrote a method that returned the remainder of two arguments when divided. That's cool, but it would be nicer if the method returned the remainder in a nice full sentence. Use string interpolation to return the remainder inside the sentence “The remainder of a divided by b is c.” where a is your “a” variable, b is your “b” variable, and c is the value of a % b.

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  puts "Dividing #{a} and #{b};"
  return a%b 

end

Gerry,

This is actually a common question on the forum, it seems a lot of people struggle with understanding this one. Not to worry, check out https://teamtreehouse.com/community/not-sure-what-im-doing-wrong-26 for some details on how you can solve it along with the "why" as to how the code works too.
