This should be the proof, I believe:

Let's say we have a cube of cheese that has no holes and it's volume is 1 cubic meter and as we increase the size, we'll get more cheese. If 1/4 of the cheese cube is holes, a.k.a. air then there'll be 3/4 cubic meters of cheese in the cube. If we increase the cube's size with the same cheese:holes ratio to, let's say 8 cubic meters, the actual cheese will increase to 6 cubic meters. Let's get a different cube of cheese, this time cheese:holes=1:4. If the new cube has a full volume of 1 cubic meter, the actual cheese's volume will be 1/4 cubic meter. If we increase the cube's volume, again to 8 cubic meters, then the cheese will have a cilume of 2 cubic meters. If we do it with 1/6 / 4 the cheese volume in 1 cubic meter total will be 1/24, and in 8 will be 1/3.

So yeah, your final results are right, but your proof isn't.

Did we really do that because of cheese? Well, I wasn't judging the weight.

Wait...

Oh yeah I was. But I meant the volume of the cheese as a whole if the cheese has no holes.

Did you like the wordplay in those sentences?

AND CHEESE IS REALLY GOOD OK? I mean, it's really really good. It deserves its mention here.

Which brings us to cheesecake...
