Best Answer

The answer depends on how the rate is measured.

Consider the fuel efficiency rate for cars. Under the outdated Imperial system, it is measured as miles per gallon and the volume of fuel is the denominator. The SI definition is based on litres per 100 kilometres. So the distance travelled is the denominator.
