Answer:

C, 1 : 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Small Circle

The radius is half of the diameter. 3 inches.

π×r²=A

We'll use 3.14 for pi.

3.14×9

28.26 in²

Bigger Circle

6×4= 24

So the diameter is 24. The radius is 12.

3.14×12²

3.14×144

452.16 in²

Let's divide.

452.16÷ 28.26

= 16

Therefore, the answer is C, 1 : 16.
