A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like cents and grams. A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1.

Explanation:

A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. A ratio can be written using a colon, 8:12 , or as a fraction 8/12 . A rate is a comparison of two quantities which can have different units. For example 8 miles per 4 hours is a rate.
