CSS Unused CSS Stages Media Queries Adaptive Layouts with Media Queries

Floating an element left seems to be giving me trouble...

Under "Phones to Tablets," create a media query that floats the .col elements left if the viewport is 481px or wider. Then, add all other "Phones to Tablets" CSS rules inside the media query.

I am getting "Did you float your .col divs left"

Here is my code:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

/* Phones to Tablets */

@media only screen and (max-width:481) {

div .col {
float: left;
}
.main {
    width: 65.957446808511%;
}
.secondary {
    width: 31.914893617021%; 
}
.extra {
    margin-left: 2.127659574468%;
}
}

/* Tablets to Desktop */

.main {
    width: 40.425531914894%;
}
.extra {
    width: 23.404255319149%;
}

you are using the wrong condition in the media-query. You must use min-width:481px (remember to use the word "px" after the number)

Thank you, I had no idea I missed out the px on the end! I had even swapped min-width and max-width a few times and still not spotted it.

Thanks,
