# --description--
The opposite of `flex-shrink` is the `flex-grow` property. Recall that `flex-shrink` controls the size of the items when the container shrinks. The `flex-grow` property controls the size of items when the parent container expands.
Using a similar example from the last challenge, if one item has a `flex-grow` value of `1` and the other has a `flex-grow` value of `3`, the one with the value of `3` will grow three times as much as the other.
# --instructions--
Add the CSS property `flex-grow` to both `#box-1` and `#box-2`. Give `#box-1` a value of `1` and `#box-2` a value of `2`.
# --hints--
The `#box-1` element should have the `flex-grow` property set to a value of `1`.
```js
assert($('#box-1').css('flex-grow') == '1');
```
The `#box-2` element should have the `flex-grow` property set to a value of `2`.
```js
assert($('#box-2').css('flex-grow') == '2');
```
