Why is 5 the answer when replacing the em units of .heading with a unit that is relative to the root element of the page

Sorry I don't know how to copy the code from the page like others have (this is for the first question)

html { font-size: 16px; }

header { font-size: 1.5em; }

.heading { font-size: 5rem }

Hi Ainara,

5 is the answer only because that’s the given code when the challenge begins. The challenge only asks you to change the unit of measurement.

Does that clear things up for you?
