As 47 people have already replied it represents line-height.
See line-height, leading, and half-leading:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#line-height>

However, line-height does not take a unit of measure, and should be 
expressed as a raw number.
body {font: 100%/1.2 Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
And for those of us who already see too much Verdana on the Web, this 
might be better:
body { font: 100%/1.2 Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
Or, even:
body { font: 100%/1.2 sans-serif; }
What the heck, don't specify any font-family, font-size, or 
line-height-- that really freaks out your peers.
