Can someone explain to me how to work out this problem?

Using the Universal Law of Gravitation, calculate the force of gravity between the Moon and the Earth.





Calculate the weight of a 90 Kg person standing on the surface of the moon.Can someone explain to me how to work out this problem?
Roughly, when a person is on the moon, he/she would weight 1/6 of his/her weight on earth.


so, 1/6 x 90 Kg = 15 Kg
