The question is:
Set the columns to expand and display on one line when they are 300px or wider. But when the columns are narrower than 300px, the browser will redistribute the space and display them on multiple lines.
I'm having trouble with this challenge. It doesn't seem like this was covered in any of the previous videos at all. I know you don't use a media query but I don't know how to specify the size of the columns like it wants.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.row {
display: flex;
}
.column {
flex-grow: 1;
}
