Courses Plus Student 5,041 PointsYou should set maximum width of all images to 100%.
img{
max-width: 100%;
}
The above code snippet will set maximum width for all images to 100 percent. Meaning it will fill their parent complete.
If parent element is 200px width then image will be 200px width.
I hope it helps.

If you have problems, code and a screenshots will help us figure out the problem. Don't be afraid to ask many questions.
