I'm stuck with 2 columns, what's wrong with my media query?

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

/***************************************
                HEADING
***************************************/
#primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
}

#secondary {
    width: 40%;
    float: right;
}

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


#gallery li {
        width: 28.3333;
}

#gallery li:nth-child(3n+1) {
    clear: left;
}

}

    <div id="wrapper">
        <section>
            <ul id="gallery">
                <li>
                    <a href="Images/numbers-01.jpg">
                        <img src="Images/numbers-01.jpg"alt="">
                        <p>Experimentation with color and texture</p>
                    </a>
                </li>

Instead of three columns, I get 2 columns and three rows, without respect to the screen size. The 3rd image is always alone in its row, so that there is a blank space where the 4th image should be. Instead, it starts the 3rd row

At a glance i can see you are missing a % sign. View below

#gallery li {
        width: 28.3333%;
}

That's exactly it. I knew it was a typo, but I wasn't seeing it. Thanks a lot Chyno!
