What am I doing wrong?

Set four column tracks using a unit that represents a fraction of the available space inside the grid container. The first track should take up 2 fractions of the space, and the remaining tracks should each take up 1 fraction.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wrapper {
  display: grid; 
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr 1fr 2fr

}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hi,

I think you forgot a semicolon in your CSS. It should look like this:

.wrapper {
  display: grid; 
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr 1fr 2fr;

}

Even after adding the semi colon, its still failing.

Hi Jamar,

I think the problem is the width of the last column track. It is currently 2fr and should be set to 1fr.

I hope this helps and good luck!
