Doesn’t apply here, say for example i have a piece of steel with length 100mm and it stretches 10mm, is mm/mm the strain would be 0.1 mm/mm, in meters it would be 0.1m/m
Really strain is dimensionless but occasionally people add units

I feel like I should’ve spotted that… they’re the same units. 🤦
