What is code rate in 5G NR?

In 5G the maximum Code Block size is 8448 bits. What is Code Rate? Code rate (or information rate) in telecommunications is defined as the ratio between information bits and total transmitted bits (Information + Redundant Bits) . Redundant bits are added by the physical layer for Forward Error Correction (FEC).
