ANSWER

15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation

The equation that models the situation is


g(m) = 15 - (m)/(32)

When the tank was full the man did not cover any mile.

To find the the number of gallons of gases Vera's tank holds, we substitute m=0 into the equation to get,


g(0) = 15 - (0)/(32) = 15

Therefore the correct answer is is option A 15 gallons
