# --description--

<dfn>Opacity</dfn> describes how opaque, or non-transparent, something is. For example, a solid wall is opaque, and no light can pass through. But a drinking glass is much more transparent, and you can see through the glass to the other side.

With the CSS `opacity` property, you can control how opaque or transparent an element is. With the value `0`, or 0%, the element will be completely transparent, and at `1.0`, or 100%, the element will be completely opaque like it is by default.

In the `.sleeve` CSS rule, set the `opacity` property to `0.5`.

# --hints--

Your `.sleeve` CSS rule should have an `opacity` property set to `0.5`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('.sleeve')?.opacity, '0.5');
```
