6 CO2 + 6 H2O light energy-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
So you need 6 molecules of carbon dioxide to produce one molecule of glucose C6H12O6.

Its just six the equation tells you that quite clearly

Thats photosynthesis (but is it really all that happens in photosynthesis, i think not)

personly i would put the light energy above the arrow as all reactions involve the intake or release of energy.
