Hi, in this media querie :
@media only screen and (min-width: 769px) { .logo { float: left; } .main-nav { float: right; } .main { width: 40.425531914894%; } .extra { display: block; width: 23.404255319149%; } }
why do we declare the .extra div as a block assuming this is a div so it's already a block ?

When the screen is big enough, and we want to show the extra div, we set it back to display: block which is the default value of a div, but it has to be over ride the display: none set before it.
