Unit rate The rate for one unit of given quantity is called a unit rate. These unit rates are again considered as one quantity. Examples are km/h which is derived for instance given that the distance is 10km and the time to be there is 5 hours hence what is the velocity. Which is v=d/t henceafter, 2km/h.
