Your weight on a planet depends on your mass and the strength of gravity of that planet. Here's a list of the percentages of Earth's gravity of each planet in the solar system:
Mercury = 0.38 (38%)
Venus = 0.91 (91%)
Earth's moon = 0.17 (17%)
Mars = 0.38 (38%)
Jupiter= 2.39 (239%)
Saturn = 0.91 (91%)
Uranus = 0.87 (87%)
Neptune = 1.14 (114%)
If you take weight of the person and multiply it by the decimal number above, you get the weight of that person on that planet. Saturn and Uranus are interesting because they're light despite being very big; as a result their gravity is less than Earth's.
So, if you weigh 85 lbs on Earth, you will weigh 85 x 0.17 = 14.45 lbs on the Moon and 85 x 0.91 = 77.35 lbs on Saturn. If you weigh 120 lbs in Earth, you will weigh 20.40 lbs on the Moon and 109.20 lbs on Saturn.

1/6th of their weight on Earth. Multiply 85 or 120 by 1 divided by 6.

The strength of gravity at the surface of the Moon is one-sixth of the strength of gravity at the surface of Earth, so on the Moon your sixth-grader would weigh one-sixth of her weight here on Earth.
Divide the weight by 6 to find your answer.
For Saturn, multiply the weight by 0.92.

14lbs to 20lbs....rounded to the nearest pound. As for Saturn, the figure is closer to .91.
