Cannot get the function to work

Hi there, I cannot seem to get this function to work - what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

style.scss 
$base-font-size: 16px;

// Write your function here

@function px-to-rem($target, $context: $base-font-size){
  @return: ($target / $context)1rem;
}

Hi nicolabell,

You need to remove the colon after the @return

In addition to multiply you need to specify the * operand.

$base-font-size: 16px;

// Write your function here
@function px-to-rem($target, $context: $base-font-size){
  @return ($target/$context) * 1rem;
}
