Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces magnetic field $B_1,$ at its centre when a current $I$ passes through it.The second wire is bent into a coil with  three identical loops adjacent to each other and produces magnetic field $B_2$ at the centre of the loops when current $I/3$ passes through it. The ratio $B_1 : B_2$ is
