If the amounts are measured in different units you may wish to convert them to the same unit. This may not always be desirable or practical (see below). Then you just divide one of the amounts by the other. If the measurement units are the same then the ratio is a pure number. If not, it has a derived unit of measurement.For example,240 km in 3 hours is 240/3 = 80 km per hour. You cannot convert these to the same measurement unit.a map in which 1 cm represents 2 km has a scale of 1/2 cm per km or 1 cm to 200000 cm. Since the latter is now in the same units, it can be written simply as 1:200000.
To work out the Ratio of something, you have to compare numbers or quantities in the same units. For e.g.1m to 10cm, for this you first have to convert them so they become the same units, which will be100cm to 10cm. Which is written as:100:10 (100cm:10cm or 1m:10cm)
In mathematics, we use various units of measurement depending on the context. For example, in geometry, we use units such as meters, centimeters, or inches to measure length. In algebra, we commonly work with units such as numbers, variables, or coefficients to represent quantities.
Hours are a measurement of time, kilometers are a measurement of distance. Do not try to work this out, it will not work.
