## Description
<section id='description'>
You can specify the width of an element using the <code>width</code> property in CSS. Values can be given in relative length units (such as em), absolute length units (such as px), or as a percentage of its containing parent element. Here's an example that changes the width of an image to 220px:

```css
img {
  width: 220px;
}
```

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add a <code>width</code> property to the entire card and set it to an absolute value of 245px. Use the <code>fullCard</code> class to select the element.

## Tests

  - text: Your code should change the <code>width</code> property of the card to 245 pixels by using the <code>fullCard</code> class selector.
    testString: assert($('.fullCard').css('width') === '245px' && /\.fullCard{\S*width:245px(;\S*}|})/.test($('style').text().replace(/\s/g ,'')));
