THe Mars rover can travle 4.9 cm in one second, so to finde the distance he made in 15/2 second we can made a tule of 3 so:


\begin{gathered} 4.9\to1 \\ x\to(15)/(2) \end{gathered}

and the expression will be:


x=(4.9\cdot(15)/(2))/(1)

and we solve for x


\begin{gathered} x=4.9\cdot7.5 \\ x=36.75 \end{gathered}

So the solution will be that the Mars rover can travle 36.75 cm in 15/2 seconds
