You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
They separate from each other at the rate of 500 + 600 = 1100 miles per hour.
Therefore, to find the flight time, divide 4950 miles by 1100 mph.
You will get flight time as 4.5 hours.
Adding it to 7:00 am, you will get the answer.
It is 11:30 am.
Solved.
