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 else can I help you with?
Shall numerator and denominator in a fraction should be on the same unit of measurement or they can be on different unit of measurement?
In a fraction they must be in the same units. In a ratio they need not be.
Can a ratio be written as a unit rate?
Yes. EX) 12/5 = 2.4
What is the definition of unit ratio?
Unit Ratio- a ratio that has a denominator of 1
Can any ratio be written as a unit rate?
Yes. EX) 12/5 = 2.4
What is a ratio of two quantities the second of which is one unit ratio?
A ratio of two quantities, where the second quantity is a one-unit ratio, expresses the first quantity in relation to that single unit. For example, if the first quantity is 5, the ratio can be written as 5:1. This indicates that the first quantity is five times larger than the one-unit quantity. Such ratios are useful for simplifying comparisons and understanding proportional relationships.

What must be true for a ratio of two measurements to be a conversion factor?
For two measurements to be a conversion factor, they must represent the same quantity but in different units. The ratio should equal 1 and can be written as a fraction where the units cancel out, allowing you to convert from one unit to another.
What is a scale written as ratio in simple form with unit of measurement called?
scale factor
What is the ratio of 1568 in 28 days written as a unit rate?
It is 56 per day.
Can any ratio be written as a unit rate?
Yes. EX) 12/5 = 2.4
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 a ratio of two quantities the second of which is one unit ratio?
