A ratio of two quantities that are measured using different measurement units is a third physical quantity that inherits the dimensions from the parents.
examples:
ratio between space s (meter) and time t (second) is velocity v=s/t measured in meters/second
ratio between energy E (Joule) and time t (seconds) is power (P) measured in Joules/second
ratio between heat Q (Joule) and Temperature T (°K) is entropy S=Q/T measured in Joule/°K
Different is the situation if we compare two measurements of the same time that are done in different measurement units. For example if we want to compare the distance between two cities measured in kilometers and the length of my bedroom measured in meters. In this case the result is an non dimensional ratio and to evaluate it the two measurements have to be converted in the same measurement unit. In the above example if the distance D between the cities is 100 km and the length of my bed room is L=8 meters the ratio has to be calculated as
D/L (all in meters) = 100*1000/8=12500.

A ratio that compares two quantities of different units is called a rate. Rates express how one quantity relates to another, often with a specific context, such as speed (miles per hour) or density (grams per cubic centimeter). They provide a way to understand the relationship between the two quantities, allowing for meaningful comparisons across different units.
A ratio that compares quantities in different units is known as a "rate." Rates express a relationship between two different measurements, such as speed (miles per hour), density (mass per volume), or price (cost per item). They allow for meaningful comparisons across diverse units, facilitating understanding and decision-making in various contexts.

To compare to different units of measurement or a ratio that compares two quantities of different units (Ex: A car goes 100 miles in 1.5 hours, what is the rate)
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.
That is known as a unit rate.
