not really understanding this question

i am multiplying the font-size times 1.6 like the question is asking but my answer isn't being accepted.

<!DOCTYPE html>

This one is straight forward. I went through the challenge just to be sure it was the answer listed below.

.intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; }

Change

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: ;
}

to

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em; /* don't multiply this, because you have the "line-height" property. */
  line-height: 1.6;
}

Hi Mike,

You have got it right. But you have written a line-height statement that is not being asked for.

Try removing the line-height and it should work fine.

.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
}
