you need to style the img element to have a max-width of 100%. Having a max-width of 100% will make the img have width that spans the entire parent element. I hope this helps.

Hi Essa,

Adding the following to your file should do this:

img {max-width: 100%;}

This video at around the 2:15 mark should give you examples from the project.

Hope that helps
