She then divides the mixture into 30 equal parts, one for each day. The International Federation of Beetle Keepers recommends that a beetle should have 0.15 grams of such desert each day. Over the course of a seven-day week, how much more grams of desert will Anna's beetles have eaten than the recommended amount? \n" ); document.write( "

The mixture contains 3.67+1.43=5.1 grams of dessert. 5.1 grams/30 days=0.17 grams per day. Since the beetle is only supposed to have 0.15 grams everyday, 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 $\"0.02%2A7=highlight%28highlight_green%28highlight%280.14%29%29%29\"$ grams more than recommended. \n" ); document.write( "
