Attached is the question. He gave us the equation. I am just confused on where to find "M" earth mass?

0. As you go above the Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity will
decrease. Find the height, in meters, above the Earth's surface where this value
will be 1/450 g. Where g =9.8 is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's
surface.
