The first thing you need to do is simplify both the numerator and the denominator by finding and applying the lowest common denominator in each.

Now you can multiply the numerator by the inverse (By the way that is more properly termed the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal to avoid confusion with the additive inverse)

You should be able to take it from here. Remember to take out the common factor of 3b.

(3+(1/3b))/(2-(1/6b))
= [(9b+1)/3b] / [(12b-1)/6b]
Invert the denominator and multiply to get:
= [(9b+1)/3b] / [6b/(12b-1)]
= [2(9b+1)/(12b-1)]
= [24b-2]/[12b-1]
