Well it would be BaI230H2O

Explanation:

And how did I get this?

I took the quotient Moles of waterMoles of barium iodide.

And thus we gets........0.75molH2O0.0243molBaI2

I think that you have quoted the wrong units; barium iodide is typically supplied as the dihydrate, i.e. BaI22H2O; well, that's what the (old!) bottle on the shelf says.
