Alma has 47 baby carrots to feed 3 goats, 47 / 4 = <<47/4=11.75>>11.75 baby carrots.
If she takes away the remaining .75, each goat gets an even 11 carrots each.
If Alma feeds 11 carrots to each of 4 goats, that's a total of 11 * 4 = <<11*4=44>>44 carrots Alma feeds the goats.
She started with 47 baby carrots - 44 she feeds the goats = <<47-44=3>>3 baby carrots left over.
