Solution

The tap is dripping at a rate of 10 millilitres per minute.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

So, in 1 hour, the tap will drip 10 millilitres * 60 = 600 millilitres of water.

Since 1 litre is equal to 1000 millilitres, 600 millilitres is equal to 0.6 litres.

Therefore, the bucket will catch 0.6 litres of water in 1 hour.
