If you're seeing this in the instructions for a homework problem or exam question, it basically means "120 is NOT an answer; you need to write 120 grams, or 120 moles, or 120 buckets of rotten fish, or whatever the actual units are ... not just a numeric value ... to get credit."
You may be able to rules lawyer your teacher into giving you credit anyway, depending on how the question was phrased. If it asks "How many grams of..." then it could be argued that "2.46" is a perfectly legitimate response. If the question was "How much..." then you'd need to include the units: "2.46 g".
