Answer:

Fe2O3

Explanation

            Fe                            O

step 1   69.1/56                   30.1/16

               1.23                         1.9

step 2      1.23/1.23               1.9/1.23

                    1                             3/2

                   1×2                          3/2×2

                   2                                    3

therefore  

molecular formula of an oxide of iron=Fe2O3

check molecular formula=56×2+16×3

                                            =112+48

                                             =160
