Mixing 2 Ferts...Balanced N-P-K

I have 2 fish ferts, different N-P-K ratios.
 
1. 5-1-1
2. 0-10-10
 
Is there a way to mix these to produce a more balanced fert, with more even N-P-K ratios? 
 
I'd be interested in hearing the responses.  I've got the "more bloom" 0-10-10.  Was going to pick up the 5-1-1 for early stage feeding.
 
I'm going by what Pepper-Guru has said, that pepper plants only have one stage, so a balanced fert is all that is needed.
 
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in, but in my mind, there's a difference between early growth where the plant is focused on root and top development and the mature stage where it's flowing and producing pods.
 
Well if its math you are looking for then 3:1 will give 15-13-13
2:1 will give you 10-12-12.
1:1/3 will be 5-4-4 roughly. Mathwise anyway

I've been told it's not simply a math problem. That's why I'm asking now.
 
I don't know why it wouldn't be just a math problem. NPK numbers are by weight, so you might be off by a bit if the densities of the two ferts are different and you are measuring by volume, but you aren't baking the cake, the precision level required is pretty low.
