48 g / 44.1 = 1.08 mol C3H8
64 g / 32.00 g/mol = 2.00 mol O2

Because the propane has less moles than the oxygen, propane is the
limiting reagent.

First: "is reacted with" is not correct. "Allowed to react with" or "treated with".

Rxn eqn: C3H8 + 5O2 Rightwards Arrow 3CO2 + 4H2O; so 1 mole C3H8 reacts with 5 moles of O2

O2 is the limiting factor
