The ratio between two different quantities is the rate.Usually, the second unit is a measure of time.
Oh, dude, a ratio compares two quantities, so technically you could have a ratio of 54kg to 54m. But let's be real, comparing weight to distance is like comparing apples to oranges... or kilograms to meters in this case. So yeah, it's a ratio, but it's a pretty weird one.
Rate
A ratio between two (usually) different quantities is the rate. Usually used to describe something compared to a quantity of time.
Ratios are good for comparing two quantities. Like in a classroom, the ratio of girls to boys, for example. Say the class has 40 students, and 22 of them are girls, so this is 22/40 = 55% of the class. But the ratio is comparing the girls to the boys, not the entire class. So if there are 55% girls, then 100% - 55% = 45% boys. Now the ratio can be made of 55 : 45 girl to boy ratio. This can be simplified to a 11:9 ratio.
A rate.

What is called a statement of comparing of two or more different quantities
The ratio between two different quantities is the rate.When expressed in words, "per" separates the two measurements described; for example, miles per gallon, feet per second.
