Line-height

Next, give intro a unitless line-height that's 1.6 times larger than the font-size value.

1.25 x 1.6 = 2.00 ; it is true but it write false

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

Hi Ilya,

As you've copy/pasted, the question is looking for a "unitless" line height. You're not passing because you are using a unit. Yes, you have given a value that's 1.6 times larger, but you can do it without a unit by simply specifying a line-height of 1.6.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
}

Also, please watch your language when posting in the forums. I've edited your question title.

Best,

Greg

The font-size equals 1.25em. "give intro a unitless line-height that's 1.6 times larger than the font-size value."

line-height: 1.6;
