A barrel contained 60 gallons of water. Water leaked out of the barrel at a rate of 5 gallons every 3 days.



At this rate, how many days did it take for all 60 gallons of water to leak out of the barrel?

It took 12 days for all the 60 gallons of water to leak out of the barrel. If you divide 60 by 5 you will get 12.
