Rates and ratios are both divisions, or fractions.
Ratios generally have the same type of units. Rates usually have different units.
Solutions are performed in the same way.

rate is usually defined as a change in one variable corresponding to a change in another variable. hence it is also a ratio as it is of the form "a/b".

They're exactly the same. One number divided by another.
