    The molar mass is calculated by looking up the relative atomic mass values on a periodic table. The relative atomic mass is a value without units that is calculated on a Carbon-12 scale.

    By looking at the periodic table (values will be to 3 significant figures [2 for hydrogen though]):

    Molar mass (M) of 1 mole of Carbon = 12.0 g/mol

    Molar mass (M) of 1 mole of Hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

    Molar mass (M) of 1 mole of Oxygen = 16.0 g/mol

    So the molar mass is essentially the relative atomic mass (RAM), but molar mass has a unit, but RAM doesn't (it is a ratio).

    Given the formula is C6H12O6 (without putting the numbers as subscripts), we can calculate as follows:

    M (C6H12O6) = (6 x 12.0) + (12 x 1.0) + (6 x 16.0)

    = 72.0 + 12.0 + 96.0

    = 180.0 g/mol

    Hope it's right : D
