    The weight would be 18.3 pounds and the mass would be 11.2 kilograms

    Explanation:

    The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and is given by the mass times the gravity:

    Weight = mass x gravity

    If the gravity on the moon is 1/6 the gravitational force on earth, then the weight of an object on the moon will be 1/6 of its weight on earth:

    Weight on moon = mass x 1/6 gravity on earth = 1/6 weight on earth

    Weight on moon = 1/6 (110 pounds) = 18.3 pounds

    On the other hand, the mass of an object is a fundamental property and represents the amount of matter in the object, so it doesn't variate. Then, the mass on the moon and on earth will be 11.2 kilograms

    weight would be 110lbs, weight doesn't change.

    mass would be 11.2/6, as it is affected by gravity
