Scenes Vs Acts the differences

i am truggling to understand the relationship between scenes and Acts. e.g how do we get to 24 scenes for 3 act appreciation

The easiest way to do this is to take the four Signposts and three Journeys of every Throughline and write a scene for each. The result will be mechanical and uninspired, but it will get you the 28 scenes you need. Add in a couple extra for backstory, story drivers, and any denouement and you’ll end up with the typical 32-33 beats for a feature screenplay.
