.tiles {
    width: 900px;
    font-size: 0;
}

.tile {
    width: calc(900px / 3);
    display: inline-block;
}

.tile h2 {
  font-size: 20px;
}

Explanation

1. tiles is the container of the tile component
2. tile is the item that we need to display inline
3. width: calc((900px / 3) - 10px) divides the width of the tile evenly
4. Set font-size: 0; on .tiles to avoid whitespace
5. Set font-size: 20px to h2 in order to display the text
