The answer is interval or ratio. In interval level of measurement, the distances between have attributes does have a meaning. The best example to be used here is temperature. The distance from 40-50 is like the distance from 70-80. While in ratio level of measurement, there is constantly an absolute zero that is significant. Meaning, that you can build a meaningful fraction (or ratio) with a ratio variable.
