Ingrid,

.wrap deals with the div class named wrap while .wrap div deals with all the divs that are children of the div class wrap.

<div class="wrap">
     <div class="col1"></div>
     <div class="col2"></div>
     <div class="col3"></div>
</div>

.wrap with handle the first div in the example above while .wrap div will handle all the divs (col1 - col3) inside of the wrap div. Hope this helps.

Cheers!
