about the article by Isaac Asimov

I have a question about the article written by Isaac Asimov in 1987 that was published in the Los Angeles Times. It said 'Yes-there is water, the weight of which is one-eighth of hydrogen'. When you say that A is one-eighth of B, that means A=1/8×B, right? However, does this mean that water is lighter than hydrogen? Even though water is actually heavier than hydrogen, how should I interpret the sentence 'Yes-there is water, the weight of which is one-eighth of hydrogen'?
