[SOLVED] Gravitational force between 2 people

OK, this is my first time doing this so I'm completely lost.

Homework Statement


Find the force of attraction between a 60kg student and another student of mass 80kg, 1.4m away.

Homework Equations


G = 6.67 * 10[tex]^-11[/tex] Nm[tex]^2[/tex]/kg[tex]^2[/tex]

Fg = [tex]\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried [6.67 * 10^-11 (60kg)(80kg)] / 1.4m

But I'm wrong.

Your help is appreciated.
