Quantities without unit of measure

In summary, quantities without unit of measure refer to numeric values that do not have a specific unit attached to them, making it difficult to determine the exact measurement or scale being used. This can lead to confusion and inaccurate calculations, especially in scientific or technical fields where precise measurements are crucial. It is important to always include a unit of measure when presenting quantities to ensure clear and accurate communication.
