Sorry, you'll need to be more specific with your questions. I can't even tell what your question is.

It basically says you are assigning those CSS rules to the <p> element, under <div>.

This might help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4459821/css-selector-what-is-it

Edit: Here follows an example (I don't know if this is what you asked)

<head>
    <style>
    div p{color:green;}
    div>p {color:red;}
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div>normal     
        <p>red <p>red too</p></p>
        <b>
            <p>green <p>
        </b>        
    </div>
</body>
