Potential dividers — practice question

The diagram depicts a fixed resistor and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) connected in series to a constant low-voltage supply. When the LDR is in the dark, the fixed resistor and the LDR have equal resistance values. Light is directed onto the LDR. What happens to the potential differences across the two components?
