To calculate the average velocity of the airplane, you need to use the formula velocity = distance / time.

The distance the airplane travels is 130 km and the time it takes to travel that distance is 20 minutes. To convert the time to hours, you need to divide the time in minutes by 60.

So the velocity will be: 130 km / (20/60) hours = 390 km/hour.
