Because, while the Moon's radius is about 1/4 of the Earth's radius, its mass is only about 1% of the Earth's mass. And surface gravity is determined by both radius andmass.
It's easy to work this out:
Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius (11/4)2=16.(11/4)2=16.
But gravity is also directly proportional to mass ≈.01≈.01.
Multiply 16 by .01 and you'll get 0.16, which is about 1/6.
