code challenge problem

I am having trouble with the following code challenge.

"Open a scope on an <ul> with the ID menu. Inside that, open a scope on a <li> element. Using Sass nesting, add a media query so that the <li> elements will have an attribute of text-align: center when the media is screen and the <li> has a max-width of 500px."

If you can be more specific about what you are confused about, I will try to explain further, but here's what your code should look like:

/* Write your SCSS code below. */
@media screen and (orientation:landscape) {
  img {
    width: 360px;
  }
}

ul#menu {
  li {
    @media (max-width: 500px) {
      text-align: center;
    }
  }
}
