Answer:

If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity between the two bodies is one-fourth as strong as before

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of gravity between two bodies depends on the mass and distance. But we will focus on distance since that's what the question asks

Therefore, the force of gravity decreases as distance between the bodies increases.
