# --description--

CSS has a property called `width` that controls an element's width. Just like with fonts, we'll use `px` (pixels) to specify the image's width.

For example, if we wanted to create a CSS class called `larger-image` that gave HTML elements a width of 500 pixels, we'd use:

```html
<style>
  .larger-image {
    width: 500px;
  }
</style>
```

# --instructions--

Create a class called `smaller-image` and use it to resize the image so that it's only 100 pixels wide.

# --hints--

Your `img` element should have the class `smaller-image`.

```js
assert(
  $("img[src='https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat']").attr('class') ===
    'smaller-image'
);
```

Your image should be 100 pixels wide.

```js
assert(
  $('img').width() < 200 &&
    code.match(/\.smaller-image\s*{\s*width\s*:\s*100px\s*(;\s*}|})/i)
);
```
