I knew I needed some information about weights on the moon and the earth.
It wasn't given and I didn't know it, so I googled
"how much does a person weighing 120 on earth weigh on the moon"
and I got this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+does+a+person+weighing+120+on+earth+weigh+on+the+moon&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCA690CA690&oq=how+much+does+a+person+weighing+120+on+earth+weigh+on+the+moon&aqs=chrome..69i57.1821j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
It then took me about 1 minute to get the answer to your question.
Repeat my process, let me know what your answer is.
If a person weighs 12 pounds on the Moon, how much does the person weigh on Earth? Explain your answer.
If a person weighs 126 pounds on Earth, how much does the person weight on the Moon? Explain your answer.
I'm not sure what kind of math method to use on this..

gravitational acceleration on the Moon is ... 1.62 m/s^2
gravitational acceleration on the Earth is ... 9.81 m/s^2
a person's weight on the Moon or the Earth
... is proportional to the appropriate value
(Moon weight) / (Earth weight) = 1.62 / 9.81
gravitational acceleration on the Earth is ... 9.81 m/s^2
a person's weight on the Moon or the Earth
... is proportional to the appropriate value
(Moon weight) / (Earth weight) = 1.62 / 9.81
THANK YOU BOTH!!
