    The answer is (CH2O) n.

    Monosaccharides consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in ratio 1:2:1.

    The basic formula of m onosaccharides is (CH2O) n. Let's take for example a glucose, which is monosaccharide. It is known that the formula of the glucose is C6H12O6, which means that it consists of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. So, in formula (CH2O) n, it must be n=6, so a glucose can be also represented as (CH2O) 6.
