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

12 inches/foot

1760 yards/mile

1000 m/km
