A ratio comparing two different units expresses the relationship between those two quantities, illustrating how many times one value contains or is contained within the other. For example, a speed ratio might compare distance in miles to time in hours, such as 60 miles per hour. This ratio not only conveys the relationship between the two units but also provides a meaningful way to understand rates and proportions in real-world contexts.
The term for a ratio of two measurements having different units of measure is called a "rate." Rates express how one quantity changes in relation to another, often involving different units, such as speed (miles per hour) or density (grams per cubic centimeter). Rates are useful for comparing quantities that are not directly compatible.

Oh, dude, a ratio compares two quantities, so technically you could have a ratio of 54kg to 54m. But let's be real, comparing weight to distance is like comparing apples to oranges... or kilograms to meters in this case. So yeah, it's a ratio, but it's a pretty weird one.
Conversion factor.
it's a rate bro
