Step-by-step explanation:

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
