this is just one example:D

Light and heat = volume in cubic centimeters

12/24 = 1/2 = 24000 (48000 from the light and heat above divided by two)
8/24 = 1/3 = 16000 (................................................ divided by three)
4/24 = 1/6 = 8000 (................................................ divided by six)

the 12,8, and 4 are present in the second paragraph and you put the fractions over the total of 24000

sorry, i hope i helped a bit anyway, it mighnot be as clear:D
