There is no real reason for two equivalent measurements to be rationed! The ratio of two equivalent measurements will depend on the units used. The ratio between a length in feet and the equivalent length in inches, for example, is 12:1.
Probably a conversion rate.
It is a unit rate.
a what compares two numbers by division?
A rate compares two different units, like 60 Kilometers an hour (60 km/hour) while a ratio compares two things, like 2 apples:3 oranges (: means to, so 2:3 actually mean 2 To 3). Hope this helps :)
It may be called the conversion factor.Note, however, that this only works when both measurements are absolute measurements, or equivalently, the measurement is on a ratio scale. For example, a fraction representing equivalent Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures is not a conversion factor because the two Zero values do not correspond to the same temperature.
a ratio.... of course!!
conversion factor
There is no particular name unless the two measurements are on absolute scales. For example, the fraction 5/41 compares the equivalent temperatures: 5 deg Celsius and 41 deg Fahrenheit. But the equivalent fraction 10/82 does not compare equivalent temperatures since 10 deg C = 50 deg F. So the fraction has no particular meaning and so no name.
A fraction that compares 2 equivalent measurements is often referred to as a conversion factor. It represents the relationship between two different units of measurement for the same quantity. For example, the fraction 1 mile/5280 feet can be used to convert between miles and feet, as there are 5280 feet in one mile.
A rate.
A rate is a fraction that compares two quantities measured in different units. If the denominator of the fraction is 1 unit, the rate is called a unit rate.

A rate.
nope
A rate compares two different units. Ex. 1 mile / 1 hour A ratio compares two of the same units. Ex. 1 mile / 2 miles
