Whiles reading thru zubrick's cheese stubled upon a density that consisted of a number with a tiny ratio( or two numbers seoerated by a slash) beside it like 7.224 20/4, with the "20/4" being tiny in size to the right of the 7.224. What are there lil' numbers for?

It is the density ratio of the liquid at 20°C, compared to the density of water at 4°C (at which temp water is the densest).
