The reaction for obtaining slaked lime is:
CaO + H2O = Ca (OH) 2, the ratio of calcium oxide and hydroxide is equimolar here.
M (CaO) = 56, M (Ca (OH) 2) = 74, we calculate the mass of the hydroxide obtained in the reaction:
(1000/56) * (96% / 100%) * 74 = 17.85 * 0.96 * 74 = 1268.57 kg or 1.269 tons.
