Well, looking at your units only, considering that every mole has a mass of 180 g., I would do:
$\frac{360}{180} = 2 m o l$ $360/180=2 mol$

This problem can be solved to find an answer of 2 mol using the dimensional analysis technique.

$\frac{360 g C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}{1}$ $(360g C_6H_12O_6)/1$ x $\frac{1 m o l C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}{180.01 g C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}}$ $(1 mol C_6H_12O_6)/(180.01g C_6H_12O_6)$ = 2 mol $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ $C_6H_12O_6$
