Hey, I was wondering how to do large ratios? I have a question on my homework. "Peter has a total of 837 movies in his collection. The ratio of Blu-rays to DVD's in his collection is 10:17. How many Blu-rays does Peter have in his collection?" I was wondering If I could get some help solving this. Thanks!

The ratio10:17  means that there are 27 "parts"   to his collection and the Blu-rays  comprise 10/27 of the total.......so....

 

10/27 * 837   =  310 Blu-rays
