Answer 1

`▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪`

Distance covered in 12 minutes = 18 km, now

Unit rate is equal to :

• 
  `(18)/(12)`

• 
  `(3)/(2)`

• 
  `1.5 \: \: \: km \: \: per \: \: minute`

The train travels 1.5 km in 1 minute time interval.

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 1\ minute = 1.5\ kilometers}`

Step-by-step explanation:

12 minutes = 18 kilometers

Divide both sides by 12

12/12 minutes = 18/12 kilometers

1 minute = 3/2 kilometers

1 minute = 1.5 kilometers

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
