What would happen if we didnt use units when measuring?

"For a measurement to make sense, it requires both a number and a unit. For example, if you told one of your friends that you had finished a homework assignment "in five", what would your friend think? Would it be five minutes or 5 hours? Maybe it was a long assignment, and you actually meant 5 days. Or maybe you meant that you wrote 5 pages. You should always express measurements in numbers and units so that their meaning is clear."
