I am at the quizz for relative units and I am giving the .h1 the font-size of 2.500em as an equivalent of 40 pixels and it doesn't work. Can anyone help me with the corect answer?

Also make sure you open and close your curly brackets after h1. Inside them, put font-size: (did you use a colon or equal sign? Colon is correct, followed by a space), then your numerical value followed by em (no space between). And don't forget the semicolon (;) after em.
I am having the worst time remembering when to use the dot, equals, colons, space, no space, etc., so syntax is usually my #1 problem.

try just entering the answer to 1 decimal place (2.5em)
Edit= Actually i may have got what your asking wrong,
Do you want to change it from em to pixels?
