Part 1 Ratio - 2 or more quantities measured in the same units
e.g - blue to red.
Rate - a comparison of two quantities measured in different units.
e.g - $1.69/100g is a rate for purchasing bulk food. (got it from the back of book)
What is the difference between ratio and rate?
The difference is that ratio compares two different quantities in the same units and rate compares two different quantities in different units.
