Such a fraction need not exist. Consider, the measures of temperature:0 deg Celsius = 32 deg Fahrenheit. The fraction is 0/32 = 0.
5 deg C = 41 deg F so the fraction is 5/40 = 1/8.
-17.77... deg C = 0 deg F and the fraction is not defined!
Such a fraction makes sense only if both measurements are on a ratio scale. If that is the case then - and only then - the fraction is a conversion factor.
