Answer

$\frac{b+2a}{2b+a}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{(2a)^{-1}+(b)^{-1}}{(a)^{-1}+(2b)^{-1}}$ =$\frac{\frac{1}{2a}+\frac{1}{b}}{\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{2b}}$ =$\frac{\frac{b+2a}{2ab}}{\frac{2b+a}{2ab}}$ =$\frac{b+2a}{2ab}\div\frac{2b+a}{2ab}$ =$\frac{b+2a}{2ab}\times \frac{2ab}{2b+a}$ =$\frac{b+2a}{2b+a}$
