A desert shrub (Plant A) has a leaf surface area of \(150\ \text{cm}^2\) and a stomatal density of \(200\) stomata per \(\text{mm}^2\). Another desert plant (Plant B) has a leaf area of \(80\ \text{cm}^2\) and a stomatal density of \(120\) stomata per \(\text{mm}^2\). Water loss per hour is proportional to the product of leaf area (in \(\text{mm}^2\)) and stomatal density. If Plant A loses \(0.90\ \text{g}\) of water per hour, estimate the water loss of Plant B in grams per hour (to two decimal places).
