Default Reading Measuring Cups

How do you read the measuring scales on the PPG measuring cups?
I can read the basic one which is just a scale from 1 thru 19, but
how do you read the other scales?
Example: 4:1:2 with numbers below in three columns.

If your clear for example is to be mixed 3 to 1 go to the scale that is marked 3:1 at the top. If you want say half a cup and the mark half way up is 4,pour the clear to the 4 mark,then the activater to the to the 4 mark in the column beside it,and you will have 3 parts clear to 1 part activater. Bout as clear as mud huh.
