area = 4 pi r^2
volume = 4/3 pi r^3
So, for any sphere, the area:volume ratio is 3/r
However, I suspect that you garbled the question. Since area varies as the square of the diameter, if the diameters are in the ratio 3/4,
area is in the ratio (3/4)^2
volume is in the ratio (3/4)^3
volume = 4/3 pi r^3
