You're on the right track, but you would need to use float() on each variable in the return statement. You have to do it this way, because the float() function takes a single argument to convert. The code you have above is placing two values inside.
So, instead of
return float(a + b)
You will need to do each one on its own
return float(a) + float(b)
Hope that helps. :)
Keep Coding!
