The ratio of body weight on Earth to Jupiter is 0.4.
The formula to calculate weight is massacceleration due to gravity.
To calculate the ratio of weight -
WeWj= mgemgj
Where, m is the body's mass, 
          We  is  its weight on Earth,
           Wj is its weight on Jupiter,
            ge is its gravitational acceleration on Earth 
            gj is its gravitational acceleration on Jupiter
⇒  WeWj= mgemgj
 WeWj= mge2.5mge
 WeWj= 12.5
 WeWj= 0.4
