In CSS Basics, Understanding Values and Units, Em and Rem Units Challenge Task, 2nd question.

In the Em and Rem Units Challenge, the second question asks what is the em value of a child element if it's px value is 53px's. It's parent's em value is 1, which if I'm not mistaken equals 16px's. So I divided 16 into 53 and got 3.313. I thought that would then equal the em value of 53px's. So I listed 3.313em as my answer and it keeps giving me a "bummer" response. What am I doing wrong, what am I not understanding, can anyone help? thanks in advance.

You had the right idea, your calculation precision was just a bit limited. As Oszkár pointed out, the fully precise value is 3.3125.
