How do i exactly use the parent's element width in css? I know this is a basic question but i'm using width: 50% on css expecting that the width would be 50% of the parent but instead it uses less than 50%.
In this example, i colored the parent as green so i could see the width and i was expecting each tab to be distributed along the green block.

width: 50%;
