CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Styling the Intro Paragraph

Can't figure the line height that is 1.6 times of the font size value?

Here is my CSS. I tried 1.25*1.6= 2, but it is not accepting that. What am I missing?

.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em; 
  line-height: 2.0;
}

I figured it out. It is unit-less, but I was trying to apply the multiplied answer as the line-height value. 

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