what are unit ratios?
1 answer
Unit ratios are ratios that compare two values measured in different units. These ratios help to simplify the comparison of two quantities measured in different units, by expressing them in a common unit. For example, if we want to compare the weight of two animals, one weighing 40 pounds and the other weighing 20 kilograms, we can use a unit ratio to convert kilograms to pounds, and then compare the two weights in the same units. The unit ratio here would be 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds.
