Answer

$ h/3$

Work Step by Step

The fraction can be given by: $\frac{\text{amount of the whole}}{whole}$. Since it takes 3 hours to fill the whole thing, 3 goes in the denominator. Since h is the number of hours that are spent (the amount of the whole), it goes in the numerator. This gives $h/3$.
