We want three floated images per row. In the media query, create a pseudo-class selector that targets the fourth img

We want three floated images per row. In the media query, create a pseudo-class selector that targets the fourth img child element first, then every third img that follows. Then, add a clear property that clears the left float.

style.css
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
  float: left;
  }
}

img:nth-child (3n+4) {
  clear: left; 
}

Raeed,

Remove the space in the nth-child selector. "img:nth-child (3n+4)" becomes "img:nth-child(3n+4)". See below this code passes for me.

Bob

@media (min-width: 607px) {
   img {
  float: left;
  }
}

img:nth-child(3n+4) {
 clear: left;
}

You put

img:nth-child(3n+4) { clear: left; }

outside of the Media queries bracket{}. I put it inside the media queries brackets{} and it worked
