pixels to ems What have gone wrong ?

Im in the middle of a simple challenge in "Understanding values and untis", I've been asked to set the h2 font-size to 53px in em untis, where the parent is set to 16px

as I understood the calculation needs to be 53px/16px to get the em value (3.3125) but something is not right, since I get the Bummer! sign :/

style.css 
/* 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: 3.3125em; /* 53/16 */      
}

        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.

You are just missing the end curly brace for your h1 rule :)

you did miss the closing tag on your h1 in the css - no need to mark her answer down when it was correct T__T

If you highlight all the css above, you'll see there's no curly brace. Anyway, glad you got it sorted :)
