Rates are used to compare related quantities such as costs of items in two countries

<h3>How to determine the ratio</h3>

The question is incomplete;

So, I will give a general explanation on how to calculate the rate.

Assume that the costs are:

United Kingdom = 500

Canada = 750

The ratio would be:

Ratio = United Kingdom : Canada

So, we have:

Ratio = 500 : 750

Simplify

Ratio = 2 : 3

Express as rate

Rate = 2/3

Using the assumed values, the rate of the total cost for items in the United Kingdom to that of the total cost of items in Canada is 2/3
