This helped me understanding folder pathing for images, css files, scripts and how to call them using html

W3Schools - HTML file paths

Path    Description
<img src="picture.jpg"> picture.jpg is located in the same folder as the current page
<img src="images/picture.jpg">  picture.jpg is located in the images folder located in the current folder
<img src="/images/picture.jpg"> picture.jpg is located in the images folder located at the root of the current web
<img src="../picture.jpg">  picture.jpg is located in the folder one level up from the current folder

Also don't forget you can use the Dev Console in your browser to manipulate what you are seeing on screen as well. This helps with debugging your site for errors that you come across. In Chrome its F12.

I had the same problem. Then I realized, that I had to link the images "numbers-01.jpg" to the image file.

in other words: "img/" should proceed the file name "numbers-01.jpg" hence: "img/numbers-01.jpg" finally: <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

Also, be sure you've extracted your zip file before dragging and dropping from your file folder to the workspace folder.
