Hi Najibullah,

The wording of this task is a bit misleading, but the way line-height works is that it if you use a unitless number, it will automatically multiply that number by the current font size. So in other words, you don't need to do the multiplication, just pass in a value of 1.6 and the CSS will apply a line height of 2em.
