well not as simple as that.

The ideal mixture is about 14:1, also called lambda=1.

But if you have certain parameters of use like
RPM
accelaration,
Airtemperature high, low
Airpressure high, low
Cold motor (less evaporating fuel in cylinder and thus richer mixture needed)

etc. etc. etc.

you get lots of changes in actual needed air to fuel ratio. Many FuelInjection Systems are a not specified to recognize all those factors, where some really complicated carburators do.

So it´s not that simple one could say:
Fuel Injection is working better than a carburator in terms of providing the RIGHT mixture for all operating conditions.
