They both have two parents who have the recessive trait. Each of them does not have the disease. Thus, there is a 2/3 chance that each of them has one recessive gene. Thus, there is a 2/3 * 2/3 = 4/9 chance that each of them has the recessive gene. Then, the probability, given that each has the recessive gene, that none of their three children has the disease is (3/4)^3 = 27/64
Then, the probability that none of the children has the disease is
(1 - 4/9) + 4/9*27/64 = 5/9 + 3/16 = (80+27)/144
Your answer is correct.
