Strictly speaking there isn't one. That is, there isn't one; it's different for different carbohydrates. The C:H:O ratio will be close to 1:2:1, but it's only EXACTLY that for some carbohydrates. There may be slightly more carbon in any given carbohydrate than there would be if the 1:2:1 ratio was strictly obeyed.
The macromolecules that are composed primarily of C, H, and O are lipids and carbohydrates.

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.

Carbohydrates are molecules that contain C, H, O. Proteins normally contain chains of amino acids.
They all contain C, O, H&The ratio H to C is fixed at 2:1
C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1 thus CH2O is the simplest ratio formula

Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon.
Carbohydrates contain C, H and O.
