Flex Box vs Inline-Block

Hello!

Which is the best way to resolve this challenge?

Flexbox or inline-box. I personally used flexbox but I am not sure if that is the best way.

What do you guys think?

Flexbox is a more up to date CSS Layout method. Having said that though, you can achieve to make this layout in multiple ways. It doesn't really matter which CSS layout method you use, as long as it achieves the result.

The difference here is that, with inline-block display, you have to compensate for the whitespace made by the browser. Whereas the advantage with using Flexbox is that you don't have to deal with stuff like that, especially using clearfix methods to clear Float layouts.
