I do not get the same results

My scss code is the same as the tutorial's, but the output differs. Here's my scss file:

directive.scss 
$font-size: 12;

@function em($target, $context: $font-size) {
  @return ($target / $context) * 1em;
}

$break-small: em(320);
$break-large: em(1200);

@mixin respond-to($media) {
  @if $media == handhelds {
    @media only screen and (max-width: $break-small) {@content;}
  }
  @else if $media == medium-sreens {
    @media only screen and (min-width: $break-small + 1) and (max-width: $break-large - 1) {@content;}
  }
  @else if $media == wide-sreens {
    @media only screen and (min-width: $break-large) {@content;}
  }
}

.profile-pic {
  float: left;
  width: em(250);
  @include respond-to(handhelds) {
    width: em(100);
    float: none;
  }
  @include respond-to(medium-screens) {
    width: em(125);
  }
  @include respond-to(wide-screens) {
    float: right;

try this 

$font-size: 12;

@function em($target, $context: $font-size){
  @return ($target / $context) * 1em;
}

$break-small: em(320);
$break-large: em(1220);

@mixin respond-to($media){
  @if $media ==  handhelds {
    @media only screen and (max-width:$break-small) {@content;}
  }
  @else if $media == media-screens {
    @media only screen and (min-width:$break-small + 1) and (max-width: $break-large - 1) { @content;}
  }
  @else if $media == wide-screens {
    @media only screen and (min-width: $break-large) {@content;}
  }
}

.profile-pic{
  float:left;
  width:em(250);
  @include respond-to(handhelds){
    width:em(100);
    float:none;
  }
  @include respond-to(media-screens){
    width:em(125);
  }
  @include respond-to(wide-screens){
    float:right;
  }
}
