Swinging pendulum question, please help?

The oscillation period of a pendulum varies as the square root of its length and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. Given that the moon has 1/6 the earth's gravity, how much shorter should a pendulum on the moon be in order to have a period that is twice as long as a pendulums period on earth?
