The challenge wants you to provide a unitless line height that's 1.6 times the font size. When providing a unitless line height, you don't need to calculate the line height in pixels, ems or rems: you're just telling the computer you want the line height to be some multiple of whatever the font size is set to.

line-height: 1.6; would set the line height to 1.6 times the font size, no matter what the font size is. Let me know if you need further clarification!
