So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.
you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.
then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.

The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.
So:
This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.
The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.
Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.
Your answer:
<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>
