I have a question that asks: What is the mass of a block of wood that weighs 6.0 Newtons?
Is there a formula for this, like mass x grams or some other?

no, mass is in kg always and weight is in newton.
6.0/9.8=mass of the block

Weight=mass X gravity, using 9.8m/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity rounded off to 10
6 newtons= mass X 10
mass = 6/10

Weight = mass x g
where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
so re-arranging the equation...
mass = weight / g

F = mg
Weight is a force.
g = about 9.8 m/sec^2
m = mass in kg
