Answer:

26.66kg

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person has a mass of 80kg, then they will weigh 80kg x 9.8m/s^2 or 784 Newtons on the Earth. That same person would weigh 80kg x 9.8m/s^2/3 or 261.33 Newtons on Mars, which the person might think was 26.66 Kg (although he would be incorrect since his mass has not changed).
