It will just be line-height: 1.6, it in itself means make the line height 1.6 bigger than the font.

This challenge doesn't make sense. It's asking you to give the line height 1.6 times the size of the font, that would equal 2. But when I put the line-height at 1.6, it gave me the okay. Here's the code:

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

Seems like TreeHouse made a mistake on their end on this one. It should be asking for you to just make the line-height at 1.6 if it wants the above answer.

Well Actually I just found out that whatever you put in line-height multipules the value in line height to font-size so they made no mistakes it's just a bit confusing.
