Two particles start from vertices A and B of equilateral triangle △ABC respectively. One moves at a uniform speed but the other moves twice as fast. Both follow the path A ⇒ B ⇒ C ⇒ A. The slower particle starts from A and the faster from B. The midpoint of the line segment connecting these two particles traces out a path enclosing region R. What is the ratio of the area of R to the area of △ABC?
