Ration does not have units. You have to convert one of them to the same units and then work it out. For example: what is the ratio of 4m to 200cm ? This is the same as: 4m to 2m - so the answer is 2 to 1. (400cm to 200cm gives the same answer.)

To compare two measurements with different units, convert them to a common unit first. Then divide one measurement by the other to find the ratio.
An equation that shows how two units of measurement are related is called
a(n) conversion factor
There are no units because it is simply a ratio
There are many different ways to write 5m in metric units: .005 km .05 hm .5 dam 50 dm 500 cm 5000 mm
A meter stick is marked in centimeters and meters, which are units of the metric system, while a yardstick is marked in inches and yards, which are units of the imperial system. The length of a meter stick is designed to be 1 meter to easily measure objects in metric units.
Two measurements are equal when they have the same numerical value, for example 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. To show equality between measurements, they must have the same units, or be converted to the same units for comparison.
Joules and Fahrenheit are two different units that measure different quantities - energy and temperature, respectively. They cannot be directly converted to each other because they are not the same type of measurement.
