A rate is a special kind of ratio that compares quantities, or amounts, with different units. This means the two quantities in a rate measure different things. One of the quantities often measures something like time, distance or money. A rate shows how much of something is happening per unit of another thing. For example, one rate you see very often is miles per hour. That rate tells you how many miles you’re going for every hour you travel. If you’re driving 35 miles per hour, you travel 35 miles every hour.

Which of the following can be written as a rate?

• A cake recipe needs 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of sugar.

• There are 25 girls and 24 boys in the eighth grade.

• Out of 25 dogs, 4 are Great Danes.

• 25 gallons of gas cost 50 dollars.

A word we often use when we talk about rates is “per.” Per means “for each” or “for every.” So when you see a phrase like “100 calories per hour” or “3 dollars per gallon,” it means the same as “100 calories for every hour” or “3 dollars for every gallon.”
