The experimental probability of an event is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}}
\]
In this case, the number of times the number 6 appears (favorable outcomes) is 12, and the total number of rolls (trials) is 18.
So, the experimental probability of getting a 6 is:
\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{12}{18}
\]
To simplify this fraction:
\[
\frac{12}{18} = \frac{2}{3}
\]
Therefore, the experimental probability of getting a 6 is \( \frac{12}{18} \).
The correct answer from the provided options is \( \frac{12}{18} \).
