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.

The diagram represents a dilation with a center at P. If the scale factor of e dilation is K, which statement about the diagram
boyakko [2]

Answer:

C is correct. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement. The segment UT could be an enlargement of the segment ST.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If > 1, then the image of could be .  

B. If 0 < < 1, then the image of could be . ( If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction )

C. If > 1, then the image of could be .

D.If = 2, then the image of is itself.

A is not correct.  If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction.

B is not correct.  If the scale factor is between 0 and 1, the image is a reduction.

C is correct.  If the scale factor is greater than 1, the image is an enlargement.

D is not correct.  If the scale factor is 1, the figure and the image are congruent.

Which two fractions have a sum of −7/30 ? Drag and drop the appropriate fraction into each box.
Brrunno [24]

Well you will need two number that are divisible by 30 and add up to -7 so they will have to be a negative.

I would try -2 and -5 which are both divisible by 30 and ad up to -7 so...

-2/30 + -5/30 = -7/30
