The ratio of a to b is the fraction A unit ratio
is a ratio written as with
Suppose the sea level increases steadily by 12 inches in the past 4 hours as it approaches high tide. We can compute how much sea level change per hour by finding the unit ratio of the change in sea level to the change in time:

So, sea level increases by 3 inches per hours.•This is an example of rate of change•We say, “The rate of change of sea level with respect to time is 3 inches per hour.”•The rate of change is constant because sea level increases steadily

Lehmann, Intermediate Algebra, 3edSection 2.4
Suppose that a quality y changes steadily form y1 to y2 as a quality x changes steadily from x1 to x2. Then the rate of change of y with respect to x is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x:
If either quantity does not change steadily, then this formula is the average rate of change of y with respect to x.
