My actual task is 'Select the link with the class more. Using the rem unit, set its font size back to the base font size of the root HTML element.'

Hi there,

There are three parts to this challenge.

The first asks you to change the font size of the h1 element to 40px, but using the relative scaling of an em unit. The document has a default of 16px. To do this, work out what would multiply 16 to 40? The answer is 2.5. The first part of the challenge looks like:

style.css 
/* Write your CSS code below */
h1 {
  font-size: 2.5em;
}

Next you do the same thing to the p element but this time you wnt to scale the font to 24px; that's a 1.5 factor:

style.css 
p {
  font-size: 1.5em;
}

The last part asks you to select the link element with the class more and set its font size to the base size using the rem unit:

style.css 
a.more {
  font-size: 1rem;
}

I think that should get you through.

Steve.
