Answer:

230lb

Explanation:

The Boy weighs 90 lb on earth and 34.5 on the Moon.

90/34.5= 2.608695652

The boys weight on earth divided by his weight on the moon is equal to the difference in weight

So for a 600 lb guy

600/2.608695652 = 230

The guys Earth weight divided by the difference in weight is equal to his moon weight.
