Answer: Tamiya watched
\frac16 of the movie at night.

Explanation:

Let x = part of movie watched at night.

Given : Tanya watched
\frac12 of movie in the morning.

Part left to watch =
\frac13

As per given, we have


\frac12+x+\frac13=1\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1-\frac13-\frac12\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(6-2-3)/(6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac16

Hence, Tamiya watched
\frac16 of the movie at night.
