Rate is the constant speed of an object. So get the distance travelled and divide that by the time taken.
The equations are
Rate = d/t (Rate = distance / time)
Time = d/r (Time = distance / rate)
Distance = r*t (Distance = rate * time)

I like eye's answer above.
It is easiest to calculate if you graph the phenomena and then measure the slope (RATE) at whatever point you wish. Always put time on the horizontal axis and the other variable on the vertical axis.
As an example, if you plot a distance vs. time graph, the slope of the graph is the RATE of change of distance vs. time. Another word for this RATE is velocity.
If the graph is not linear, measure the slope of the tangent of a point on the curve.

Divide measured units by the interval. The measured units could be 34 gamblers, the interval could be 2 furlongs. That would give you 17 gamblers per furlong.
Or the measured units could be 51 meters per second and the interval could be 17 seconds, giving you a rate of acceleration of 3 meters per second squared.

coronary heart cost is calculated in B.P.M, (beats consistent with minute). that's actually what share circumstances your coronary heart thoroughly contracts and relaxes in one minute. an conventional coronary heart cost relies upon on a sort of factors alongside with yet no longer constrained to (age, intercourse, weight, weight loss plan, exercising, contemporary drugs, etc.) To calculate in basic terms place your index and midsection finger in basic terms adjoining on your thumb and your wrist. count form the form of pulses or beats you sense for 6 seconds, then multiply via 10. that's your BPM. Your objective coronary heart cost may be calculated via: 220-(*age)= some # (that's additionally your max coronary heart cost) some # x (0.70)= your objective coronary heart cost.

what rate? rate of acceleration, rate of a catalyst or rate of a reaction? i don't get you, but there surely is a way to calculate rate.

If you are talking about distance/rate/time problems, then d=rt. So rate = distance divided by time (r=d/t).

assuming a constant acceleration, rate is just distance (length) divided by time elapsed.

Rate is simply a derived measure of the change in something per unit of measure.
The rate of change in distance per unit time is called velocity.
The rate of change in velocity per unit time is called acceleration.
The rate of change in money acquired per unit time is called annual income.
The rate of change in distance per unit of gasoline in your car's tank is called gas mileage.
The rate of change in ..... per unit .... is called ....... (You fill in the blanks.)
