To determine how many cakes Lionel makes in one hour, we can use the following formula:

cakes per hour = total cakes / total hours worked

On Monday, Lionel made 7 cakes in some number of hours, so we don't know how many cakes he made per hour that day. However, on Tuesday, he made an additional 6 cakes (13 total cakes - 7 cakes made on Monday), and he worked for 2 hours longer than he did on Monday. Therefore:

cakes per hour on Tuesday = 6 cakes / 2 hours = 3 cakes per hour

So Lionel made 3 cakes per hour on Tuesday. We don't have enough information to determine how many cakes he made per hour on Monday.
