Add the appropriate CSS code to the media query so that ".contact" and ".menu" fill the entire container width when the device or browser width is at most 480px wide. HELP!!!!!!

The code attached below is in one of the quizzes, I am completely stumped!! Please help.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300,700" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <style> body { background-color: #420600; color: #FAF3BC; font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 100; } img { margin: 2% 0; max-width: 100%; } h1 { font-weight: 100; font-size: 2.25em; margin: 5% 0; } h2 { font-weight: 100; font-size: 1.500em; color: #B4C34F; } h3 { font-weight: 100; font-size: 1.25em; color: #4FB69F; } h2, h3 { margin: 0; padding: 0; } p { margin: 5% 0; } strong { font-weight: 300; color: #B22316; } div { box-sizing:border-box; -moz-box-sizing:border-box; /* Firefox / -webkit-box-sizing:border-box; / Safari */ } #container { max-width: 1000px; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; } .menu { width: 60%; margin: 0 0 2% 0; float: left; }

ul.prices {
  font-size: .75em;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 2% 0;
  margin: 0;
}
.prices li {
  float: left;
  width: 33.3333333%;
}

.cupcake {
  border-bottom: 1px dotted #FAF3BC;
  padding: 5% 0;
}
.cupcake p {
  margin: 0;
}
.cupcake:nth-child(2) {
  border-top: 1px dotted #FAF3BC;
}
.contact {
  width: 35%%;
  margin: 5% 0;
  padding: 3%;
  float: right;
  background-color: #2e0400;
  border-radius: 15px;

}
.contact span {
  color: #B22316;
  font-weight: 600;
}

/* Mobile ----------- */
@media screen and (max-width : 480px) {
}

Hey Brandon! You're on the right track.

Within the media query, force .contact and .menu to fill 100% of the container for resolutions smaller than 480px:

@media screen and (max-width : 480px) {
    .contact, .menu { width: 100%; }
}

Hi Allison /* Mobile ----------- */ @media screen and (max-width : 480px) { .contact, .menu {width: 100%;}

}

This what mine looks like, but am still getting the error "Bummer! Don't change the widths outside of the media query!"
