Question 2/3: Using the em unit, set the paragraph's font size equal to 24px.
My Answer:
p { 1.5em; }
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? 16px is equal to 1 em so 24px should be equal to 1.5em right?

Treehouse TeacherHi Danielle Phipps ,
The value is correct, but don't forget to include the property that makes it all happen :)
