A ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other, and a rate is
a measure, quantity, or frequency, typically one measured against some other quantity or measure.

A ratio
can easily be expressed as fractions or as a decimal.
A rate
is a bit different than the
ratio.
It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, such as grams and cents.
