Help with css

I am going through all the videos fine but i tend to get errors on task challenges. It says "Bummer! Make sure you're selecting the intro class, and setting an em font-size value equal to 20px." Any help?

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.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>

You should add dot before the class name in CSS: ".intro"

That didn't fix it, It just said the exact same thing.

As I see in other discussions of this challenge, this should work:

.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
}

So it may be because of zero in "1.250em"
