Weight is what you get when you stand on a scale. Scales are weight measuring devices that use a spring or some kind of metal bar that stretches or bends when your weight is applied to it. The heavier you are, the greater the amount of stretch or bend. That flexing is transferred to the dial of the scale so you can read your weight.
The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface.
If you were to weigh yourself on a scale here on earth and then could take that same scale to the moon and weigh yourself there, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. So, If you weighed 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh only about 16 pounds on the moon.

You would weigh about 180 pounds, since the moon's gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's.
So, going to the moon might be a good way to lose some weight...lol...

The most commonly used figure is that moon's gravity is 1/6 of earth's gravity.
30 * 6 =

180 lbs, as the gravitational force (and consequently weight) on (of) an object on Earth is six times that of the moon. Although weight changes, mass does not.

180 pounds.
You weigh 1/6 of your weight on earth on the moon, so 6 x 30 = 180

150 pounds. You weigh one sixth of what you weigh on earth when you are on the moon.

It's just over 6 times. The correct answer is 181 lbs, although I won't quibble with the posters who say 180.
The following Web site is pretty cool. It will tell you your weight on other worlds.

the comparable - the hollow between earth and moon impacts the rigidity between them; at diverse hand, the hollow of the astronaut from the moon has now no longer replaced and its the acceleration of gravity on the moon that determines his weight.
