Answer:

Since weight is directly dependent on the acceleration of gravity, things on the Moon will weigh only 16.6% (≈ 1/6) of their weight on Earth.

Explanation:

Being that the moon has a gravitational force of 1.622m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quanitity to calculate an object's weight on the moon. So an object or person on the moon would weigh 16.5% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on the moon.
