In the figure below, 
congruent semicircles lie on the diameter of a large semicircle, with their diameters covering the diameter of the large semicircle with no overlap. Let 
be the combined area of the small semicircles and 
be the area of the region inside the large semicircle but outside the semicircles. The ratio 
is 
. What is ?
