What is the course looking for here?

I have tried a few different ways and I am not getting it right. What exactly is the question looking for?

method.rb 
def mod(a, b)
  c = a % b
  puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{c}"
end

def mod(a, b)
  puts "The remainder of #{a} divided by #{b} is #{a % b}"
end

HI Jeff,

The first one will work, but you want to return the string, not puts.
