    5 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula to relate speed, distance and time is:

    D = V * t

    Where D is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

    As they are in opposite directions, we need to sum the speed.

    So the total speed is:

    V = 63 + 59 = 122 mph

    So using this value and V and using D = 610, we have:

    610 = 122 * t

    t = 610 / 122 = 5 hours

    So they will be 610 miles apart after 5 hours.
