Conversion factors is one name given to this device. 100oC = 212oF would be a specific example.
+++ That does not give a ratio, because you can not give a ratio between different units unless one unit is a linear multiple of the other. The example above will not work because the link between ºC and ºF is not linear, and the conversion cannot give a ratio.
+++++
A better example would be 9°R/5K where °R is degrees Rankine and K is Kelvin

A ratio that compares two quantities of different units is called a rate. Rates express how one quantity relates to another, often with a specific context, such as speed (miles per hour) or density (grams per cubic centimeter). They provide a way to understand the relationship between the two quantities, allowing for meaningful comparisons across different units.
To compare to different units of measurement or a ratio that compares two quantities of different units (Ex: A car goes 100 miles in 1.5 hours, what is the rate)
ratio that compares 2 quantities measured in diiferent units
