Final answer:

The student spent 48 minutes more on homework on Sunday than on Thursday evening, after calculating the time spent on each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the difference in time spent on homework between two days, Sunday and Thursday evening. On Sunday, the total time spent on homework was 114 minutes for art and 45 minutes for numeracy, which adds up to 159 minutes. On Thursday evening, 111 minutes were spent on literacy homework. To find the difference, we subtract the time spent on Thursday from the time spent on Sunday:

159 minutes (Sunday) - 111 minutes (Thursday) = 48 minutes.

Therefore, the student spent 48 minutes more on homework on Sunday than on Thursday evening.

To find the difference between the time spent doing homework on Sunday and Thursday evening, we need to subtract the time spent on Sunday from the time spent on Thursday evening.

On Sunday, you spent 114 minutes on your art homework and 45 minutes on your numeracy homework, so the total time spent is 114 + 45 = 159 minutes.

On Thursday evening, you spent 111 minutes on your literacy homework.

Therefore, the difference between the time spent doing homework on Sunday and Thursday evening is 159 - 111 = 48 minutes.
