Much simpler way to understand why there are 3 mole is look at the subscript along the element. There is no number in the subscript of Calcium and Carbon thus 1 Mole, There is 3 present in the subscript thus 3 moles of calcium. Remember that subscript suggests the number of moles of an element in only 1 MOLE OF COMPOUND
