In this example, we have two <code>minmax()</code> function arguments present in our <code>grid-template-columns</code> property:
</p>
<ol>
<li>The first <code>minmax()</code> function tells the browser to make the first column a maximum width of <code>100px</code>, and a minimum width of <code>10px</code>.</li>
<li>The third column uses our second <code>minmax()</code> function. It tells the browsers to make the third column a minimum width of <code>300px</code>, and a maximum width of <code>15rem</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p>
The second column has a width of <code><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_Layout/Basic_Concepts_of_Grid_Layout#The_fr_Unit">1fr</a></code>. It will expand to fill the remaining width.
