A_1 B_1 C_1  is a regular triangle.  A_2 B_2 C_2 are points on A_1 B_1 ,A_2 B_2 ,C_1 A_1    respectively such that A_1 A_2 =B_1 B_2 =C_1 C_2 =(1/5)A_1 B_1 .  A_3 B_3 C_3  are points on A_2 B_2 ,B_2 C_2 ,C_2 A_2   respectively such that A_2 A_3 =B_2 B_3 =C_2 C_3 =(1/5)A_2 A_3   Repeat this process to constract infinitely  many triangles △A_1 B_1 C_1 ,△A_2 B_2 C_2 ,△A_3 B_3 C_3 ,…  If S_n  is the area of △A_n B_n C_n ,  find the value of ((Σ_(n=1) ^∞ S_n )/S_1 )=((S_1 +S_2 +S_3 +…)/S_1 )
