Creating a Fluid Foundation code challenge glitch?

Hey does anyone know how to get pass these tasks? I am stuck on the first challenge "Using .container as your context, convert the width of .icing from pixels to percentages." I'm sure its pretty obvious but right now I can't seem to figure it out. The answer cant be giving .icing a property of "width: ;" surely? Because it does not give me the red bar of death and it lets me move on to task 2??? If the container is the context and it has a width of 500px then surely it is 500px / 500px which is the width of .icing giving a value of 1?

I cant believe im stuck on percentage conversions... :p

Yeah so its 100%. As it says icing is 500px and the context is also 500px

Thanks it worked! I cant believe i spent so long trying to figure that one out... I really want to get through this Build a Responsive Website project so i can start practising using percentages and em in my websites.

Least you got there, I never use PC just stick to em and always set body font-size to 16px for the base.
