Given :
Water in barrel = 60 gallons
Rate of leakage of water = 5 gallons every 3 day
Now, according to question we added 15 gallons of water on 6th day. Hence,
Water in barrel = 60 + 15
= 75
Now, days required to run out of water = 75 × 3 /5
= 45 days
Hence, it would take 45 days to run our of water.
