This is an equivalent fraction for which the denominator is 1.

It can refer to ratios between two different measures when the denominator is time. Examples include

speed = change of displacement per unit of time,

acceleration = change in speed per unit of time,

inflation = change in prices per unit of time (year),

pay rate = amount of pay per unit of time (hour, week or month).

It can also refer to instances where the numerator is monetary and the denominator is a unit of item purchased. Example:

rate for a can of cola = price of six pack/6

rate for a litre of petrol = price paid for x litres/x

and so on.
