Because the ratio would;t be correct.
Look at this example. What is the ratio of 1cm to 1 metre?
If you went by these measurements you would get 1:1 which means 1cm is the same as 1 metre., which is false.
The correct answer means comparing 1cm with 100cm (or 1 metre) which is 1:100.
So it's really important with ratios that the units are the same.

What unit is a compression ratio measured in?
There is no "unit". It is a ratio. Just pick a unit. Since you're likely talking about engine displacement, liters are a good unit to use. +++ Engines are described in litres, but individual cylinder volumes are normally expressed in cubic centimetres (c.c.), but the compression-ratio is the same irrespective of measurement units because a ratio is dimensionless.
