Let the diameter of larger circle is r, so now radius of one small circle is r/6
total are of smaller circle: PIE*r^2/12
total are of larger circle: PIE*r^2/4
ratio=1/3

Area of small semicircle A1=Pi.r^2/2
Area of big semicircle B1=9.Pi.r^2/2
Red area A=3.Pi.r^2/2
Blue area B=B1-A=9.Pi.r^2/2 - 3.Pi.r^2/2 = 3.Pi.r^2
Ratio A/B= 1/2
