The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of first car = 57 mph

Time = 5.5 hours

Distance covered by first car = Speed * Time

Distance covered by first car = 57*5.5 = 313.5 miles

Speed of other car = 58 mph

Distance covered by other car = 58*5.5 = 319 miles

Difference = 319 - 313.5

Difference = 5.5 miles

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.
