Liters per hour and cubic centimeters per second both measure a liquid's rate of flow. Liters and cubic centimeters are units of metric volume and describe how much liquid has passed through a certain point in a given amount of time, expressed in minutes and seconds. Because the units are related, they can be converted. You do this using conversion factors, which describe the quantitative relationship between the two units.
