Answer:

70%of 2000 = 1400

2000 tonnes of hematite contains 1400 tonnes iron oxide .

1400 tonnes of fe2O3

fe2O3 have molar mass 159.69

calculate moles = given mass/molar mass

moles = 1400000000/159.69

moles = 8766986

one mole contains = 112 g of fe

so 8766986 moles will contain = 112×8766986

= 981,902,432 grams of ferrous

which is nothing but equal to 981.90 tonnes of iron!!
