The easy way to do this is
Step 1. 2Fe2O3 + 3C ==> 3CO2 + 4Fe
Step 2. Then don't worry about the tonnes.
Step 3. mols Fe2O3 = 10,000/molar mass Fe2O3.
Step 4. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols Fe2O3 to mols Fe.
Step 5. Then grams Fe = mols Fe x atomic mass Fe and the answer will come out in tonnes if you started with tonnes.
You can do it the long way by changing 10,000 tonnes to grams, following Steps 3, 4, and 5 to come up with grams Fe, and add a step 6 to convert grams back to tonnes.
The answer should be the same either way.
