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

I am not sure where I am going wrong on this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi there, Randall Aguirre ! I received your request for assistance. You are super close here. You are simply missing a semicolon at the end of the font-size rule.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

why would the line-height be 1.6 if it's supposed to be 1.6 TIMES larger than the font-size value? wouldn't that make it 2? Not sure what I'm missing here
