A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:
rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles
rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles
