How does a rate equation indicate when

a reaction takes place in multiple steps.

The rate equation gives the slowest step of the reaction, and the entire reaction is considered as having the same speed as the slowest of the reaction. For example, a teacher will only begin dictating further till the slowest of the student has finished, of course if the teacher is good and understands that.

it tells u how fast (or volatile) your chemicals will be
thus it tells you the time that it takes for the chemical reaction to complete fully (all the steps)
