To find out how long it would take for all 60 gallons to leak out of the barrel, we need to determine how many times 5 gallons can be subtracted from 60 gallons.

Since 5 gallons are being leaked every 3 days, the rate of leakage can be expressed as 5 gallons per 3 days, or (5/3) gallons per day.

To find out the number of days it would take for all 60 gallons to leak out, we divide the total amount (60 gallons) by the rate of leakage per day (5/3 gallons per day):

(Number of gallons) / (Rate of leakage per day)

60 gallons / (5/3 gallons per day) = (60 * 3) / 5 = 180 / 5 = 36 days

Therefore, it would take approximately 36 days for all 60 gallons to leak out of the barrel.
