The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how much of the tank is filled by the tap in one hour. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Total Time to Fill the Tank**: The tap can fill the entire tank in 6 hours. 2. **Calculate the Part of the Tank Filled in One Hour**: To find out how much of the tank is filled in one hour, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Part of tank filled in 1 hour} = \frac{1}{\text{Total time to fill the tank}} \] Here, the total time to fill the tank is 6 hours. 3. **Substitute the Value**: Substitute the total time into the formula: \[ \text{Part of tank filled in 1 hour} = \frac{1}{6} \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the part of the tank filled in 1 hour is \(\frac{1}{6}\). ### Final Answer: The part of the tank filled in 1 hour is \(\frac{1}{6}\). ---
