Task: use em unit to set paragraph to 24px. Base is 16px. My code p { font-size: 1.5em;} Error: Check length unit

This is task 2 of 3 in relative length units deep dive. The error I get says "Check the length of the unit in your CSS." Isnt' that the em unit?

Hi Sally,

I copied and pasted your code into the challenge and it passed. Maybe restart your browser?

Hey it looks like you're doing it right so I imagine that there's some kind of syntax error you're making that we can't see. Try comparing the below with your answer

/* Write your CSS code below */

h1 {
  font-size: 2.5em;
}

p {
 font-size: 1.5em; 
}

Thanks, that is what I have. Refreshing the browser made it work.
