Original LaTeX notation
Four semi-circles are shown with $AB:BC:CD = 1:2:3$. What is the ratio of the shaded area to the unshaded area in the semi circle with diameter $AD$? Express your answer as a common fraction. [asy]
import olympiad; import geometry; size(150); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8));
filldraw(arc((6,0),6,0,180)--cycle);
filldraw(arc((3,0),3,0,180)--cycle,fillpen=white); filldraw(arc((8,0),2,0,180)--cycle,fillpen=white); filldraw(arc((11,0),1,0,180)--cycle,fillpen=white);
