Answer 1

Use MUI Grid for responsive layout and horizontal row
import { Grid } from "#mui/material"
<Grid container direction="row" justifyContent="center">
<Grid item xs={4}>
<Card> ..... </Card>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={4}>
<Card> ..... </Card>
</Grid>
<Grid item xs={4}>
<Card> ..... </Card>
</Grid>
</Grid>
xs={4} will display 3 Cards in each row because 12/3 = 4 as MUI uses 12 columns grid system. You can also use md, sm, lg, xl for different screen sizes.
