Ok. I finally understood that you need to complete (fill in the blank) the last sentence: The weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars is about ______________

The answer is one third its weight on the surface of Earth.

You can find that by using the formula for the weight:

weight =  mass * acceleration due to gravity

So, given that the mass is constant and the acceleration due to gravity is one third, the weight is also one third.
