@ Media Query seems harder than I need to know. But I still need to move forward.

The Bummer message told me I didn't specify the correct font-size of .title. However, the number should be 1.4rem. I can't pass this challenge, please help me.

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
.main-header {
background-color: tomato;
color: white;
}


@media (max-width: 768px) {
.title {
  font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  }

@media (max-width: 768px){  
  h1 {
  font-size: 5rem;
  }
  }
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>

The CSS below will pass the challenge, I approached this in 2 steps.

  1. Move both the styles for the max width viewport of 768px to the same media query
  2. Start with the smaller viewports first and then work up to the larger width viewports.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .title {
        font-size: 1.4rem;
    }

    h1 {
        font-size: 5rem;
    }
}

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
    .main-header {
        background-color: tomato;
        color: white;
    }

Hope this helps.
