Atoms, molecules and stoichiometry — practice question

A major source of atmospheric carbon dioxide is the thermal decomposition of limestone, during the manufacture of cement and of lime for agricultural use. Each year, cement works roast $1000$ million tonnes of limestone, and a further $200$ million tonnes is roasted in kilns to make lime. Calculate the total annual mass output of carbon dioxide (in million tonnes) from these two processes.
