The rate would be$$\huge \frac{ 3~baskets }{ 45~minutes }$$
Which can be simplified to the unit rate of $$\huge \frac{ 1~basket }{ 15~minutes }$$

mathstudent55 · Answer

baskets/minute is a unit rate because it is per 1 minute.

mathstudent55 · Answer

1 basket per 15 minutes is not a unit rate, but 1/15 baskets per minute is.
