CSS Unused CSS Stages Transitions and Transforms Transitions: Part 2

Not sure what this means

Hi, I'm doing transitions and I've come across some code that I don't exactly understand. It goes…

.wrap:hover .box{ margin-left:75%; background:rgba(0,100,30, 0.8); }

so, when I read it, it seems that the background color and margin change when the mouse is over the .wrap div. But I'm not sure why the .box div is there. If anyone could help that'd be great…thanks!

The .box div will change when you hover over the .wrap div. Just like the CSS selector .wrap .box will select all div's with the class of .box inside the div with the class of .wrap, .wrap:hover .box will select all div's with the class of .box inside the div with the class of .wrap when it is hovered over.
