The atomic mass constant (symbol: mu) is defined as being 112 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. ... Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative

Answer:
Relative atomic mass (symbol: Ar) or atomic weight is a dimensionless physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass constant. The atomic mass constant (symbol: mu) is defined as being
