Help with line-height value

It asks to give intro a unitless line-height that's 1.6 times larger than the font-size value.

font-size: 1.25em; line-height should be 1.25 x 1.6 = 2

But it says 2 it isn't correct. Help! thank you, guys.

They want the line-heigth 1.6times larger not 2times. If you type the value without a unit it will automatically multiply the current font size by the given value :)
