Answer:

a+b

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given expression

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{b}+\dfrac{2}{a}}{\dfrac{2}{ab}}[/tex]

We need to find the expression which is equivalent to the given expression.

Taking LCM on the numerator, we get

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{2a+2b}{ab}}{\dfrac{2}{ab}}[/tex]

Taking out the common factor.

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{2(a+b)}{ab}}{\dfrac{2}{ab}}[/tex]

According to the property of division,

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{b}}{\dfrac{c}{d}}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{d}{c}[/tex]

Using this property we get

[tex]\dfrac{2(a+b)}{ab}\times \dfrac{ab}{2}[/tex]

Cancel out the common factors.

[tex]a+b[/tex]

Therefore, the expression a+b is equivalent to the given expression.
