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

Line Height

If my math is correct, a line-height that is 1.6 times bigger than the font-size(1.25em) would be a unitless measurement of 2.

No, you would need the unit. Otherwise the browser is confused. Two pixels is different from two picas or two centimeters or two points, etc.

The question asks for a unitless conversion for the line-height.

Hm, not sure why you wouldn't include the particular unit but 2 is the correct number.

"Next, give intro a unitless line-height that's 1.6 times larger than the font-size value...."

That's the objective...

It does not accept my solution, which is the same? Any thoughts?
