Answer:

1:3

Explanation:

The part that contains nuts = 1/4

The part that do not contain nuts = 1-1/4 =3/4

We need to find the ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates that do not contain nuts. It can be calculated as follows :


Ratio=((1)/(4))/((3)/(4))\\\\=(1)/(4)* (4)/(3)\\\\=(1)/(3)

So, the required ratio is 1:3.
