| In this problem, the entire path that the plane flew can be represented as an ordinary fraction – 13/13. Based on the condition of the problem, it is known that in the first hour the plane flew 7/13 of the way. Therefore, we can find out how much the plane flew in the second hour:
13/13 – 7/13 = 6/13 ways.
Since the entire path is divided into 13 equal segments, we can find what such a segment is equal to:
6/13 = 630 km
1/13 = 630: 6 = 105 km.
Now we find the distance in kilometers that the plane flew in 1 hour:
105 * 7 = 735 km.
We find the total distance in two hours:
735 + 630 = 1365 km.
Answer: the plane has flown 1365 km in total.
