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 is the ratio of 125 centimeters to 2 meters?
Just convert the units to a common unit. Reminder: 1 meter = 100 centimeters. Then express as a ratio of the same unit. The units cancel in this case.

What must be true for a ratio of two measurements to be a conversion factor?

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.
What is the unit of ratio?
there have no unit because both the quantites cancel out each other same as mecghanical advantage there have no unit because both the quantites cancel out each other same as mechanical advantage
