CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Styling the Intro Paragraph

hello! I have an issue on how to find the requested value on question three. I multiplied 1.6 by the 20.

In the "style.css", they ask me to find the unit-less value of the" line-height" multiplying 1.6 font-size value (which is 20 ). I do so, and find 32 , but the answer is still not accepted. Please help me to see what I did wrong.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>

  line-height:32;
}

This is a bit of a "trick question". Since a unitless line-height is taken as a multiplier, the value you would use to make the height 1.6 times larger than the font-size is ... yep ... 1.6.

The line-height is the multiplier. You don't need to do multiplication yourself.

.intro{
  font-size:1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
}
