    12.5 hrs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The rate at which the mower burns gas is 0.4 gallon / hr.

    The greatest volume of gas that the tank can hold is 5 gallons.

    If x is the number of hours the mower runs, then:

    (0.4 gal/hr) x ≤ 15 gal, or x ≤ (15 gal) / (0.4 gal/hr), or x ≤ 12.5 hrs
