Emily would completely fill 3 racks of baskets balls and she would have 3 basketballs left over.

4(number of basketballs each rack can hold) multiplied by 3 is equal to 12. Meaning 12 of the 15 basketballs will be able to go on a rack, and there would be 3 left over.(subtract 15-12 and you will get 3)
