Such a fraction need not exist. Consider, the measures of temperature:0 deg Celsius = 32 deg Fahrenheit. The fraction is 0/32 = 0.
5 deg C = 41 deg F so the fraction is 5/40 = 1/8.
-17.77... deg C = 0 deg F and the fraction is not defined!
Such a fraction makes sense only if both measurements are on a ratio scale. If that is the case then - and only then - the fraction is a conversion factor.

What is a rate that compares two equivalent measurements?
A rate that compares two equivalent measurements is a conversion rate.
What is a fraction that compares two quantites measured in different units?
Probably a conversion rate.
What will be an equivalent fraction be for one fifth?
An equivalent fraction for one fifth would be two tenth if you multiply it by two.
What is the definition for the math term data?
A fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units. i know this is the correct answer
What fraction is equivalent to four fourteenth?
two sevenths is equivalent to four fourteenths
A fraction that compares two equivalent measurement?
There is no particular name unless the two measurements are on absolute scales. For example, the fraction 5/41 compares the equivalent temperatures: 5 deg Celsius and 41 deg Fahrenheit. But the equivalent fraction 10/82 does not compare equivalent temperatures since 10 deg C = 50 deg F. So the fraction has no particular meaning and so no name.
What is a fraction that compares 2 equivalent measurements?
A fraction that compares 2 equivalent measurements is often referred to as a conversion factor. It represents the relationship between two different units of measurement for the same quantity. For example, the fraction 1 mile/5280 feet can be used to convert between miles and feet, as there are 5280 feet in one mile.
What is a fraction that compares two equivalent measurements called?
It may be called the conversion factor.Note, however, that this only works when both measurements are absolute measurements, or equivalently, the measurement is on a ratio scale. For example, a fraction representing equivalent Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures is not a conversion factor because the two Zero values do not correspond to the same temperature.
What is a rate that compares two equivalent measurements?
A rate that compares two equivalent measurements is a conversion rate.
What is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units?
A rate is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units. If the denominator of the fraction is 1 unit, the rate is called a unit rate.
What is a ratio that compares two numbers?
The ratio that compares two numbers is a FRACTION. For example, the ratio of 3:5 can be written as 3/5.
What is a proportion of a fraction that compares two measurements of the same quantity?
a ratio.... of course!!
What is an equivalent fraction for one third?
an equivalent fraction in two sixes
What is a fraction that compares two measurements of same quantity?
There need not be any such fraction: consider temperatures in the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
What is a fraction that compares two quantites measured in different units?
Probably a conversion rate.
What will be an equivalent fraction be for one fifth?
An equivalent fraction for one fifth would be two tenth if you multiply it by two.
Is the fraction 1-10 equivalent fractions?
11
