You write 12 texts per hour.
Explanation:
A unit ratio is one in which the terms have been simplified such that the second term is one.
To achieve that in this case, we must divide the time value by two. So, you also divide the "texts" value by two, or else the rate has a different meaning.
24 texts / 2 hours = 12 texts / 1 hour
