I used two methods to achieve my goal. Here is the first one that use left and right "margin:auto" property:
.container{
text-align: center;
display: flex;
height: 340px;
}
.col{
margin: 3.5em auto;
}
Here is the second one that use "justify-content: space-around" property-
.container{
text-align: center;
display: flex;
height: 340px;
justify-content: space-around;
}
.col{
margin-top: 3.5em;
}
So my question is which one is the best solution for this problem? Thanks.

But as a general practice, when using flex I prefer doing things the "flex way"; so my own choice would be to use the "justify-content" method.
