Alice | 110 lbs. | 36.6666667 lbs. | 50 kg. | |
Michelle | 140 lbs. | 46.6666667 lbs. | 63.636363 kg. | |
Dottie | 150 lbs. | 50 lbs. | 68.1818182 kg. | |
Patience | 123 lbs. | 41 lbs. | 55.909091 kg. | |

You could also solve for a character's weight on Photonis by dividing her Earth weight by 3. If you already know the Photonis weight but not the Earth weight, then multiply by 3. Susan & Penny's given weight info was a clue to that! (90 ÷ 30 = 105 ÷ 35 = 3)
What the weight-to-mass ratio of gravity means is that there is a certain amount of weight for each unit of mass. In this case, there's a certain number of pounds for each number of kilograms. Rephrasing what was typed on the puzzle page, there are 11 pounds for every 5 kilograms on the planet Earth; there are 11 pounds for every 15 kilograms on the planet Photonis.
