So its asking you to find the gravity on earth relative to the gravity on mars.

Set up an equation to figure out the difference between the two gravities 

[tex]15x=5.7

x=5.7/15[/tex]
x=.38

I don't know what constant of proportionality is in this context but a ball on mars would weigh .38 the amount that it does on earth.
