1. **State the problem:** Abelie flew from Dubai to Rome in 6 hours 42 minutes at an average speed of 650 kilometres per hour. We need to find the distance flown. 2. **Formula used:** Distance is calculated by the formula: $$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$$ 3. **Convert time to hours:** 6 hours 42 minutes is converted to hours as follows: $$6 + \frac{42}{60} = 6 + 0.7 = 6.7 \text{ hours}$$ 4. **Calculate distance:** $$\text{Distance} = 650 \times 6.7$$ 5. **Multiply:** $$650 \times 6.7 = 4355$$ 6. **Final answer:** The plane flew a distance of 4355 kilometres.
