When you don't specify a distance for a color, it will use the values that makes sense. In this case, the first two colors will default to 0%and7.5%because it starts at0%, and7.5%is half of the15% .

Because this is a gradient colour, the browser takes the information you give it and makes a decision on how to render it for you. If you give it values, it will use them, but if you skip a value, it will render it based on an average of the previous value and the next value. (so if the previous color is at 0%, and the next one is at 15%, then the middle colour should be around 7.5%)

i dont understand how to use it

In this case, they gave you the exact format you need to use. It was like this:

gradient-type(
  direction,
  color1,
  color2
);

So make your answer follow this format (using the details the exercise asks you to use)
Try it…
