Direct formula

Required ratio  =\left ( \frac{2}{2+1} \right )+\left ( \frac{3}{3+1} \right )+\left ( \frac{3}{3+2} \right ):\left ( \frac{1}{2+1} \right )+\left ( \frac{1}{3+1} \right )+\left ( \frac{2}{3+2} \right )

                        \left ( \frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{5} \right ):\left ( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{5} \right )

                        \frac{\left ( 40+45+36 \right )}{60}:\frac{\left ( 20+15+24 \right )}{60}

                        \frac{\left ( 121 \right )}{60}:\frac{\left ( 59 \right )}{60}

                    121:59
