Create a New Float Variable named $floatOne with a value of 1.5. Without changing the value of $integerOne or $floatOne,

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;
$floatOne = 1.5;
var_dump($integerOne * $floatOne);

?>

Pretty sure if I remember correctly, it just wants you to output the value, and with the var_dump, it is dumping the variable type plus the value.

So I'd probably change:

var_dump($integerOne * $floatOne);

To:

echo ($integerOne * $floatOne);

That way you are just outputting the value.
