Solution

First, we need to convert the speed from miles per second to kilometers per second. Given that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers, we multiply the speed of Saturn by 1.6.

6 miles/second * 1.6 km/mile = 9.6 km/second

Next, to find out how many kilometers Saturn will travel in 15 seconds, we multiply the speed in km/second by the time in seconds.

9.6 km/second * 15 seconds = 144 kilometers

So, Saturn will travel 144 kilometers in 15 seconds at its given speed.
