you have to assume that you have 100grams of the compound. so you figure out that you have 0.593 moles of Ag, 0.571 moles of N and 1.75 moles of O. divide by the smallest moles and you get one Ag, one N and 3 O's. AgNO3 is what you got!!!

the numbers are kinda hard to calculate when you only have less than a min to answer.

Do you get to use a calculator during the exam? Periodic table of elements?
