Can you maybe explain your question a bit more? Because I would think that if the challenge is:

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.

then c = a % b is already the answer. 

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

But I am not entirely sure if I am misunderstanding your question.

Thanks, that helped me understand what I was doing wrong.
