How to know the pixel/percentage values to be set?

I see Nick setting the different values for the properties. He seems to know the exact values to set his webpage right. How do I know what values to set for different properties when I make my own website in the future?

I think most of the time in these videos they are just rebuilding something they've built before, thus he knows exactly what sizes to use. I could be completely wrong, but in the real world it's more trial and error. If there's an exact science to it that I'm missing, I'd love to know it haha

Haha yeah. I'm guessing its trial and error in the real world too. Thanks for your reply! :)
