Divide CSS3 Grid into fixed equal columns

Defining a fixed set of equal width items for each row in a grid can be done using the grid-template-columns property in CSS3.

grid-template-columns: repeat(numberOfColumns, widthOfEachColumn);

You can implement this in any of the following 3 ways.

grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 200px);
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 25%);

Note that here fr is the fractional unit, which represents a fraction of the leftover space in the grid container.
