I can't exactly get the problem but, you can first add this rule to make sure it will give you the exact 45%

*,
*:before,
*:after{box-sizing: border-box;}

If that doesn't work, you might need to look at the parent of this ul and li, or to make sure that all are sit.

If possible, if I could see all of your entire stylesheet that would help a lot. I would be able to add it to my html and figure out what's wrong. You do have the gallery list item correctly coded for the layout. Possibly it could be the wrapper is off or the margins and padding of your gallery might be off also. But I can't tell with just that little bit of css you provided.

I am having the same exact problem.

/******************************* GENERAL ********************************/ body { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; min-height: 100%; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }

a { text-decoration: none; }

img { max-width: 100%; }

/******************************* HEADING ********************************/

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em;

}

h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; }

h2 { font-size: 0.75em; margin: -5px 0 0; font-weight: normal; }

/******************************* NAVIGATION ********************************/

nav { text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0; }

/******************************* FOOTER ********************************/

footer { font-size: 0.75em; text-align: center; padding-top: 50px; color: #ccc; }

/******************************* PAGE PORTFOLIO ********************************/

gallery {

margin= 0; padding= 0; list-style= none;

}

gallery li {

float: left; width= 45%; margin= 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5 color: #bdc3c7; }

/******************************* COLORS *******************************/ / site body */ body { background: #6ab47b; color: #999; }

/* green header */ header { background: #6ab47b; border-color: #599a68; }

/* nav background on mobile / nav { background: #599a68; } / logo text */ h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

/* links */ a { color: #6ab47b; }
