Let the radius of circle F be x; radius of circle G will be 3x/4; radius of circle H will be x/2
Area of shaded region is 9x^2/16 - x^2/4 = 5x^2/16 (pie)
Shaded region part is 5/16 part of area of circle F

let the radius of circle F be $$12$$

so radius of circle G $$=12*\frac{3}{4}=9$$ and radius of circle H $$= 9*\frac{2}{3}=6$$

Area of shaded region = Area of circle G-Area of circle H$$= π9^2-π6^2 = 45π$$

Area of circle F $$= π12^2=144π$$

Area of shaded region to area of circle F $$= \frac{45π}{144π}=\frac{5}{16}$$

Radii for H, G, and F:

$$H = \frac{2}{3}G$$
$$\frac{H}{G}=\frac{2}{3}$$
$$H = 2, G = 3$$

$$G = \frac{3}{4}F$$
$$3=\frac{3}{4}F$$
$$F = 4$$

Area of H = $$\pi*r^2= 4\pi$$
Area of G = $$9\pi$$
Area of F = $$16\pi$$

Shaded region's area = (Area of G) - (Area of H)
$$(9\pi - 4\pi) = 5\pi$$

Area of the shaded region is what part of the area of circle F?
$$\frac{5\pi}{16\pi}=\frac{5}{16}$$
