A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. It is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like cents and grams. A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1. We calculate as follows:

rate = 7.5 cups of sugar / (14 x 12 cookies)
rate = 0.045 cups of sugar per cookie
