HTML How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Refactor the Layout

main.css used instead of responsive.css for #gallery li {width: 28.33333%;} challenge?

I am confused why the code challenge is using main.css instead of responsive.css for adding the width: 28.33333% for screens over 480px. Unsure what is required on this css as everything I add from my responsive.css does not work when checking work.

Greg- The media query is at the bottom of the challenge on line 89. The code should look like this:

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

Thanks Kathleen, realized I had also missed the # before gallery which didn't help.
