Rate is a ratio that compares two quantities of different units.
20 oz of juice for $4, miles per hour, cost per pound etc. are examples of rate.

A rate is a ratio that compares two different quantities, usually involving time. Common examples include speed (miles per hour), price per item, heart rate (beats per minute), wages (dollars per hour), and student-teacher ratios. Rates help us understand how one quantity relates to another in various contexts.
