Bus A Data
==========
Speed = 58mph
Time=t hour
Distance Covered by Bus A=58*t
=============
Bus B Data
============
Speed = 52mph
Time=t hour
Distance covered by Bus B=52*t
Distance Covered by Bus A + Distance Covered by Bus B = Total Distnace apart
52t+58t=363
110t=363
110t/110=363/110
t=3.3 hour

They will be 363 miles apart after 3.3 hours or 3 hours 18 minutes.

Check
=============
Bus A Data
==========
Speed = 58mph
Time=3.3 hours
Distance Covered by Bus A=58*3.3=191.4 miles
Bus B Data
============
Speed = 52mph
Time=3.3 hours
Distance covered by Bus B=52*3.3 = 171.6 miles
Total Distance between two Buses = 191.4+171.6 = 363 miles
