Answer:

The bells will ring simultaneously at 11.00 a.m

Explanation:

Firstly, what we have to do here is to get the lowest common multiple the three numbers

The numbers are the given minutes

These are 30,36 and 45 minutes

The lowest common multiple of these three is 180 minutes

Now, we convert this to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

180 minutes = x hours

x * 60 = 180 * 1

x = 180/60

x = 3 hours

If we added this to 8 am, we have 8 + 3 = 11 a.m
