The lecturer is saying that in this exercise 64em = 1024px, but is it true?

The lecturer is saying that in this exercise, in @media query 64em = 1024px, but in body there is 1.25 em. So wouldn't it mean that in 64em (in @media query) = 1280px?

Em-based media queries are based off the browser's font settings, not the body font size. The default is 16px unless the user changes it in browser settings. So the lecturer is correct: 64em = 1024px
