    The distance formula is: Distance = Rate x Time.

    We know the distance: 2000 miles.

    We know the rates: 560 and 500 mph.

    We need to solve for time:

    2000 = (560 + 500) * T

    2000 = 1060 * T

    T = 2000 / 1060

    T = 1.89 hours (1 hour 53 minutes)

    They left at noon:

    12:00 pm + 1 hour and 53 minutes = 1:53 pm.
