I think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as 
10b/(2b + 8) 

If that is the case the reciprocal is

(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did. 

Put the numerator in  the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.

You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.

1/5 + 4/5b 
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in

Latex.\frac{2b + 8}{10b} =  \frac{2b}{10b} +  \frac{8}{10b} =  \frac{2}{10} + \frac{4}{5b} =  \frac{1}{5} +  \frac{4}{5b}

Alternate answer
If you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2 

The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.

The answer
I have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.

Philip is recording what kind of shoes people are wearing at the mall. Out of the 12 people he has seen, 6 are wearing high heel
Ronch [10]

Answer: 5 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to set up a proportion. 6/12=x/10. To solve, cross-multiply and divide. Multiply 6 and 10 (6*10=60) and divide by 12 (60/12=5).

You can also find that 6/12 is equal to 1/2 by dividing each side by 6. Then multiply 10 by 1/2 (or divide 10 by 2) to get the final answer of 5 people.
