Matt, this is worked almost the same way as your posts under CJ and Lacey EXCEPT that this is a limiting reagent problem. I know that because amounts are given for BOTH reactants.
Here is an worked example of a limiting reagent problem. Just follow the steps.

For the reaction
? Al + ? CuSO4 ↽⇀? Al2(SO4)3+? Cu
a maximum of how many moles of Al2(SO4)3
could be formed from 5.95 mol of Al and
1.31 mol of CuSO4?
Answer in units of mol.
