Anna's beetle have eaten 0.14 more grams of dessert than the recommended  amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dessert contains a mixture of 3.67 grams of pureed  ants with a 1.43-gram blueberry.

Total mixture ⇒ 3.67 + 1.43 = 5.1 grams of dessert.

This mixture prepared is for 30 days.

Therefore, she divides  the mixture into 30 equal parts, one for each day.

Each day ⇒ 5.1 grams / 30 days = 0.17 grams per day.

  • It is given that, the beetle is only supposed to have 0.15 grams everyday.
  • But, Anna’s beetle eats 0.02 grams more of dessert than recommended.

So over the course of a seven-day week,

Anna’s beetle will eat ⇒ 0.02 × 7 = 0.14 grams.

∴ Anna's beetle have eaten 0.14 more grams of dessert than the recommended  amount.
