How to fill parent elements

I am having difficulty coming up with code for filling images to their parent elements. I am familiar with the concept of nesting tags within tags, but am not as familiar with filling parent elements. Can you give me some suggestions for what CSS selector(s) and properties I should use?

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

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

#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;
}

li img {
  max-width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
}

I submitted the code below and was able to complete the first of four challenge tasks.

img { max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; }

I went on to complete the next three challenge tasks. Thank you for providing me with this missing line of code.
