  1. The selector asked for is .gallery

  2. You are overwritting width:50% with width:100% later in the styles. It should be width:50%

Its asking you in css to isolate just the img elements you created in your html. I tried adding class=“img” to all 9 photos in html and .img{} to css but that didn’t work. So you’ll have to separate gallery and img like this…and it worked for me.

.gallery{
  width:50%;
  border:5px solid red;
}
img{
  width:100%;
  padding:5px;
  border:5px solid blue;
}

You need separate selector for both img and .gallery
