Background icons don't stay in line from mobile size to larger size, icons end up under text. Why?

I am trying to get my background icons to move in line with the correlating text. They line up when I'm in mobile version but when I expand the screen size they end up under the text in the wrong column. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've included my code and css.

main.css

The code below gives you the outcome I believe you desire.

.contact-info { display:inline-block; min-width: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 20px 20px; padding: 0 0 0 30px; margin: 0px 0 10px; }

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Hi Brooke! do you have a link to a live site ?

nope that didn't work either. It made the background images stay aligned left but that's not the correct location when you expand to tablet or desktop size.

hmmm where are they supposed to go when on tablet or desktop? I tested it on all devices on my end and it always stays to the left of your contact information.

UPDATE : I was looking at your code and on the #secondary id you forgot to close the width **

It should look like this (add semi-colon after 40%) :

secondary{

width:40%; float:right; }
