To find the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days, we need to calculate the change per day and then multiply it by the number of days.
Since the tank decreases by 10 gallons every 3 hours, that means it decreases by 10/3 gallons per hour.
There are 24 hours in a day, so the tank decreases by 10/3 * 24 = 80 gallons per day.
After 6 days, the total change in the amount of water in the tank is 80 * 6 = 480 gallons.
Therefore, the correct answer is 480 gallons.
