For every liter of sea water that evaporates, 3.70g of magnesium hydroxide are produced. How many liters of sea water must evaporate to produce 5.00 moles of magnesium hydroxide?

Please show and explain all steps! Thank you!

moles Mg(OH)2 = 3.70/molar mass Mg(OH)2 = about 0.09 but confirm that and do it more precisely.
So if 1 L sea water produces 0.09 moles Mg(OH)2, x amount sea water will produce 6.0 moles Mg(OH)2. Set up a proportion and solve for x.
