Lay out your knowns, including formula for mass.  You should see how to proceed...

This is a ratio problem...

Mass doesn't change. It would be same mass. However if you mean weight, the weight would be 120 kg in moon.

anonymous · Answer

You're right in that the mass wouldn't change, @abdul shabeer, but wrong about the weight - it would decrease, not increase, to 1/6 of the weight on Earth or about 12kg.
