6,100 PointsHelp with the px to rem challenge. Not accepting any of my answers.
I have tried about 50 different things here and keep having to come back to this one challenge so I can close out the completed css course. I have googled and used px to rem calculators and nothing works. Help? Perhaps I have just obsessed over this so long that I am totally overlooking something very simple :-/
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
header {
font-size: 1.8em;
}
.title {
font-size: 1.625rem;
}
h1 {
font-size: 5.625rem;
}
h2 {
font-size: 3.313rem;
}

Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions 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.

<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>

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.

<h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>

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:

h2 {
font-size: 3.3125em;
}
Less rounding.

The challenge says to change the .title and h1 elements. Why are you including the h2 as well? When I change the em to rem on just .title and h1, it passed.

Alysha Vandergriff
6,100 PointsBecause it's the second question that I am on. I passed the first fine too.
"Create a new rule that targets the h2. The h2's parent element has a font-size value of 16px. Use an em unit to give the h2 a font-size value equivalent to 53px."
Juan Aviles
12,795 PointsSorry about that, I didn't realize it was for the second question. 3.3125em worked for me as well when targeting the h2.

6,100 PointsThanks Jeff. I am not sure what I did differently this time but when I went back and tried your solution a second time, it finally worked. Thanks so much!
