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.

A random sample of 6 homes in Gainesville, Florida between 1800 and 2200 square feet had a mean of 212990 and a standard deviati
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the average price of a home in Gainesville of this size is between 183,772.5 square feet and 242,207.5 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation of the sample, so we use the students t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 6 - 1 = 5

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 0.95(t_{95}). So we have T = 2.015

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.015*14500 = 29217.5.

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 212990 - 29217.5 = 183,772.5 square feet

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 212990 + 29217.5 = 242,207.5 square feet

The 95% confidence interval for the average price of a home in Gainesville of this size is between 183,772.5 square feet and 242,207.5 square feet.
