volume of a prism is 1/3 area of base triangle * height= 1/3 * 1/2 *4 * 5 * 3 = 10. required ratio = 10: 3 *4 *5 = 1:6

volume of cuboid=length * width * height = 3 4 5 = 60 \text{volume of cuboid=length * width * height} = 3*4*5=60

volume of pyramid = 1 3 area of the base * height = 1 3 1 2 3 5 4 = 10 \text{volume of pyramid}=\dfrac{1}{3} * \text{area of the base * height} = \dfrac{1}{3} * \dfrac{1}{2} * 3*5*4 = 10

ratio of volumes = 10 60 = 1 6 \text{ratio of volumes} = \dfrac{10}{60} = \dfrac{1}{6}

The desired answer is 1 : 6 \boxed{1:6} .
