"Write the ratios so that the units are consistent."

Explanation: For a valid proportion the two ratios must compare the same kinds of quantities in the same order (e.g., miles per hour = miles per hour, or cups per recipe = cups per serving). Once units/order are consistent you can cross-multiply to solve.
