To find the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days, we need to find the change per day and then multiply by the number of days.
The water tank decreases by 10 gallons every 3 hours, which is equivalent to a decrease of 10 gallons every 3/24 = 1/8 days.
Therefore, the water tank decreases by 10/1/8 = 80 gallons per day.
After 6 days, the total change in the amount of water in the tank would be 80 gallons/day * 6 days = 480 gallons.
So the correct answer is 480 gallons.
