Answer 1

The water tank decreases by 10 gallons every 3 hours every day.

Since there are 24 hours in a day, the water tank decreases by 10/3 = <<10/3=3.33>>3.33 gallons every hour.

After 6 days, the total number of hours is 6 * 24 = <<6*24=144>>144 hours.

Therefore, the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days is 3.33 * 144 = <<3.33*144=479.52>>479.52 gallons.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days is 480 gallons.

Therefore, the answer is 480.
