Weird line height question,

It's asking for a line-height that 1.6 times larger than the font value. I multiplied it by each value, none work

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 2;
}

The property "line-height" is, by nature, a multiplier. So to make the height " 1.6 times larger", the value to set is simply 1.6.

Thank you so much! I missed that part saying that it was a multiplier already.

Did you try this ? 

.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6;
  }

Thank you. I appreciate the response! I knew it was something simple I wasn't getting.
