Answer:

Let's first convert the time taken to cover the distance at 45 km/h into minutes:

3 hours and 20 minutes = 3 x 60 + 20 = 200 minutes

The distance covered by the bus at 45 km/h is:

distance = speed x time

distance = 45 km/h x 200 minutes

distance = 9000/60 km

distance = 150 km

Now, let's use the distance and the new speed of 36 km/h to calculate the time it would take to cover the same distance:

distance = speed x time

150 km = 36 km/h x time

time = distance / speed

time = 150 km / 36 km/h

time = 4.1667 hours or 4 hours and 10 minutes (rounded to the nearest minute)

Therefore, it would take approximately 4 hours and 10 minutes to cover the same distance at a speed of 36 km/h.
