60% or 3/5 of the tank will be filled in an hour.

The pump will fill 2/5 of the tank in 2/3 hours.

In order to find out how much of the tank will be filled in an hour, use direct proportion and assume portion of the tank that will be filled up in an hour is x.

2/5 of tank        :            2/3 hours

x of tank            :             1 hour

Cross multiply to get:

2/3x = 2/5

x = 2/5 ÷ 2/3

x = 2/5 x 3/2

= 0.6 of the tank

= 60%

= 3/5 of tank

In conclusion, 60% of the tank will be filled in an hour.
