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

I cannot figure out why my answer is unacceptable.

Can anyone help me by explaining this and answering the question?

Thanks! -jS

line-height: 2;

/* this is telling the browser to make the line-height 2 times larger*/

line-height: 1.6;

/* you want to make it 1.6 */

Ok. I really misinterpreted that question.

I think the wording implies that you need to calculate something, even though it states it is a unit-less value.

Yup. That's how I understood it to be.

Thanks a bunch for the help!
