# --description--

You can use absolute and relative units like `px` and `em` in CSS Grid to define the size of rows and columns. You can use these as well:

`fr`: sets the column or row to a fraction of the available space,

`auto`: sets the column or row to the width or height of its content automatically,

`%`: adjusts the column or row to the percent width of its container.

Here's the code that generates the output in the preview:

```css
grid-template-columns: auto 50px 10% 2fr 1fr;
```

This snippet creates five columns. The first column is as wide as its content, the second column is 50px, the third column is 10% of its container, and for the last two columns; the remaining space is divided into three sections, two are allocated for the fourth column, and one for the fifth.

# --instructions--

Make a grid with three columns whose widths are as follows: 1fr, 100px, and 2fr.

# --hints--

`container` class should have a `grid-template-columns` property that has three columns with the following widths: `1fr, 100px, and 2fr`.

```js
assert(
  code.match(
    /.container\s*?{[\s\S]*grid-template-columns\s*?:\s*?1fr\s*?100px\s*?2fr\s*?;[\s\S]*}/gi
  )
);
```
