Redox stoichiometry please help?

The following unbalanced equation shows one of the steps in the process of reducing iron ore to iron metal.

Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g)

If you begin with 435 grams of iron(III) oxide and an excess of CO, what is the maximum number of grams of Fe that can be obtained?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

    you start with 2.75 moles of fe2o3 meaning you end up with 5.5 moles of Fe. (Fe2 on left but Fe on right) 5.5 x 55.82=307g Fe
