Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

12 out of 18 free throws is also equal to the fraction [tex]\frac{12}{18}[/tex]. To simplify this fraction, we have to find out the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12 and 18. It turns out that the GCF of 12 and 18 is 6. So, we have to divide the fraction by 6 to reduce it to its lowest terms.

[tex]\frac{12}{18} /\frac{6}{6} =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)
