Answer:

2HCr2O7(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) --> 2H2O(l) + Ca(Cr2O7)2

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutralization reaction produces water and a salt. Since Ca(OH)2 has two hydroxides, two water molecules are produced, which means you also need two molecules of the acid. Having two molecules of the acid also ensures that you have two dichromates on both sides.
