You can add this CSS in a separate CSS file linked to your HTML, by using the code:

img { width: 100%; }

This code should allow the image defined by and <img> tag to fill it's parent element. You could also use the inherit property, too,

Hope this helps!

Hey KP!

You can also use:

img {max-width: 100%;}

In the future if you decide to start getting into responsive web design using this property will help your images be more fluid.
