To determine the mass of the rock given its weight of 6.8 N, you should use the formula that relates weight (W), mass (m), and acceleration due to gravity (g):

\[ W = m \cdot g \]

where:
- \( W \) is the weight in newtons (N),
- \( m \) is the mass in kilograms (kg),
- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) on Earth).

To find the mass, rearrange this formula to solve for mass:

\[ m = \frac{W}{g} \]

In your case, you would divide the weight (6.8 N) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²):

So the correct response would be: **Divide 6.8N by 9.8m/s².**
