Need some help here please . SO2 and NOx are responsible for acid rain.?

Now the total emissions, in weight (metric tons per year) are very similar. If we take all of the NOx emissions to be NO2, and the total mass of both to be 150 metric tons per year, how does the SO2 and NOx production compare on a per mole basis?

relative number of moles-
NO2: molar mass = 46
SO2: molar mass = 64
NO2 has 1.39X the moles of SO2 (64/36)
