Code challenge won't accept correct answer

I am stuck on a code challenge question that asks me to translate a 53px font size into em, when the base is 16px. I have entered the correct answer (3.313em) and code every time (even using different browsers) but I keep getting feedback that tells me the answer is wrong. Is anyone else having this problem, or know how to work around it? I'm wondering if this is a Mac compatibility problem.

Try using 3.3125em instead, as that is the non-rounded number coming from dividing 53px/16px.

I did the challenge a while ago and put in the exact number and it worked fine. Hope this helps.

Hi Katherine, I think the information you're looking for is located here. I went ahead and updated the topic to CSS for you.

Thank you! It was unclear that four decimal places were needed as the other numbers only used three. It works fine now.
