Rate is the ratio between two related values which are in different units.
Rate is presented in "per" unit so that it makes comparison between rates simpler.
Given:
24 gallons of water are flowed out of the pipe in 3 minutes.
To Find:
The rate of the flow.
To find the rate of the flow of the water is to find the amount of water that will flow out in 1 minute:
8 mins = 24 gallons
8 ÷ 8 min = 24 ÷ 8 gallons
1 min = 3 gallons
3 gallons of water are flowed out in 1 min,
⇒ the rate is 3 gallon per min.
Answer: 3 gallons/min
