Hint: we can measure the volume of water flowing out of the faucet in m^3 (that is, meters cubed), and the time in s (that is, seconds)

You can also measure the flow rate as mass per unit time, and that would be
kg/s (kilograms per second).

(chuckles) Or you could measure it in the Heaviside-Lorentz system (a subdivision of the SI system) where it would be unitless.

Don't say that for your answer, Mac!!

Thank you all for your helpful responses! CaptainBlack,the answer you gave is more along the lines of what they are looking for.

Thanks again!
