In order to find the result we will have to do some stoichiometry in this question, first we need to set up the reaction:

3 NO2 + H2O -> 2 HNO3 + NO, the reaction is already properly balanced, but there could be some stoichiometry questions in which you need to balance it first

Now, we have 60 grams of NO2, and we want to know how many grams of NO will be produced, let's check the molar ratio between the two compounds

If we have 3 moles of NO2 we will end up with 1 mol of NO, therefore the molar ratio is 3:1
