The challenge is asking you to create a selector for the list items nested inside of the element with the ID gallery. To select an element with an ID associated with it you use the # symbol before the name of the ID. So an element with the ID of gallery would be #gallery.

When selecting anything nested within an element you want to include it after that selector with a space in between them. So for this challenge you would use #gallery li to select the elements this challenge is asking for.

See the code example below:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }
}

Hi Lisa,

The question asks you to create a new style definition inside the media tags at the bottom. This will target all 'li' within the 'gallery' id and set the width to 28.3333%.

In css this would look like this:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li { width:28.3333% }
}
