Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1 as: (C1H2O1)n

Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A+
The chemical elements found in carbohydrates are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is 2:1, which is the same as the ratio you provided (12:1). This ratio reflects the basic molecular structure of carbohydrates, such as glucose.

Strictly speaking, there isn't one. Carbohydrates have the general formula Cx(H2O)y. Y may be equal to X, but it doesn't have to be (it usually will be for simple carbohydrates, but not for complex carbohydrates); the only ratio that's fixed is hydrogen to oxygen at 2:1.

The exception to the rule of ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is found in maltose, where the ratio is 2:1 instead of 2:3, due to the formation of a glycosidic bond between two glucose molecules.
The ratio of carbohydrates to all other matter in the universe is very, very close to 0.
