How to create float elements in php.

The question says "Create a New Float Variable named $floatOne with a value of 1.5. Without changing the value of $integerOne or $floatOne, multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the results." but i cannot figure out how to do that.

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1; 
$integerTwo = 2;

$integerOne += 5; 
$integerTwo -= 1;
?>

Is this bugged or am I crazy?

I've tried:

$results = $integerOne * $floatOne;
echo $results;

I've tried the simple:

var_dump( $integerOne * $floatOne );

I've inserted both before and after the second step in the quiz, thinking you maybe looking for 1.5 or 9.

I'm at a loss. What am I doing wrong? (I'm think the var_dump is correct but what do I know, I started php an hour ago.)
