Multiply the pair of numbers and take their square root to find the geometric mean to be

$1/6sqrt(1/6)~~14.697$

Explanation:

The geometric mean of a set of $n$ numbers is the $n^"th"$ root of the product of all of the numbers. In this case, we have two numbers, and thus take the square root of their product.

$"geometric mean" = sqrt(1/12*1/18)$

$=sqrt((1/6)^2*1/6$

$=1/6sqrt(1/6)~~14.697$
