I have entered the exact code several times for float: left; & width: 45%; yet it does not recognize it as the right ans

where is my mistake it is the same as in the video.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery l1 {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

It would be helpful to see the instructions and HTML as well, but it seems like you're trying to float the gallery list to the left with a width of 45%? It looks like you called "#gallery l1" (L-one) instead of "#gallery li".

Yes, the properties are correct for that selector but your selector contains an error. 

#gallery l1 {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
}

Check again what elements you're supposed to be targeting with the selector and then look at the selector again.. what's wrong there?
