A loaf of bread weighs 3.3 N on Earth.
What should it weigh, in newtons, on the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth that on Earth? What should it weigh on Jupiter, where g is 2.64 times Earth's gravity in Newtons?

If gravity is 1/6 as much that means things weigh 1/6 as much. That is 1/6 times the weight on Earth. So 1/6 times 3.3. That is the same as 3.3 divided by 6. You can do the math. And the same for the other one. 2.64 times 3.3. Again, do the math.
