7,579 PointsChallenge is not excepting em value (I uses the damn px to em converter you all link to and it is the right number.)
I used the formula from the video (child / parent = ? ). The task is not excepting the value I input. I even went to the w3c PX to EM converter which gave me the same number.

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:

9,135 PointsI found your problem !
You do not need to change anything on the numbers. Just change em to rem by placing "r" infront of the em.
I checked it myself and it was correct

header {
font-size: 1.8em;
}
.title {
font-size: 1.625rem;
}
h1 {
font-size: 5.625rem;
}
h2 {
font-size: 3.3125em;
}
53/16 = 3.3125. Very close!
Beau Delfosse
9,135 Pointsto accomplish the results, just simply place an "r" in front of the "em" in the declaration of the header selector
You don't need to wright that additional h2 rule there. Just delete that
Paul Ryan
4,584 PointsDon't think so. The challenge states to use an em value.
Beau Delfosse
9,135 PointsI did the challenge 2 min ago. I only placed an "r" infront and I succeeded. Just give it a try ;) Thank me later

Beau Delfosse
9,135 PointsOw didn't see that. My bad
I wrote this on part 2 and it worked:
h2 { font-size: 3.3125em; }

9,135 PointsHey
To what font-size do you need to scale it? You do know there is a difference between rems and ems ?
Reply so I can help you further ;)
