Explanation:
I'll solve this approximately but you should use real values
mass of Earth is 6*10^24
mass of moon =7.35*10^22
radius of Earth =6400km
radius of moon =1737km
so I'll just approximate that mass of Earth is 100 times more than that of moon and Earth's radius is 4. times. more than moon
weight or forces =GMm/r^2
let's say M is mass of moon and m is the same object we use on both planets
and r is radius of moon
for an object on Earth weight =G100Mm/16r^2
100 M because mass of Earth is 100 times that of moon and 16r^2 because radius is 4 times
then just divide this
you get weight of earth /weight on moon
=100/16
=6.25
it would be 6 if you use real values tho it was approx
