Packets	Number of packets	Number of sweets
Small	p	15p
Big	q	25q

¾ of total number of sweets: 3u -> 15p

1u -> 5p

¼ of total number of sweets: 1u -> 25q

5p = 25q

p = 5q

q : p = 1 : 5

Is this the full question? Seems like some information is missing in this sentence “She repacked of the sweets into small packets”
