Mass of man-earth vs moon


[b]1. If a man weighs 900 N on Earth what would his mass on the moon be? Gravity on the moon is 1/6 the gravity on the Earth. (use 9.8 m/s^2)


[b]2. F=ma



[b]3. 900=m(9.8)
m=91.83

ans=91.83

I'm fairly certain that this is correct, i just want a little confirmation because the moon thing throws me off
