5,039 PointsUse justify-content to adjust?
Hi guys,
I was just wondering, when do we use flex: 1; versus justify-content: space-between; to give the .col the same size?

distributes space between each element providing they are able to have space between them. eg: two 50% (width/flex-basis) elements will have no space between, where as two 49% (width/flex-basis) elements would have a 2% space between them.
You can use flex: 1
and justify-content: space-between
both at the same time, however you would want to make sure that the items have a flex-basis that will allow space, if you want justify-content: space-between
to work as intended.
CSS Tricks has an easy to understand guide, which I would advise going over.
