Midrash for Chullin 195:27

רבי יעקב בר אידי ורבי שמואל בר נחמני תרוייהו משמיה דרבי יהושע בן לוי אמרי

Then I might just as well be satisfied with forty-five-fold.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since in this and in the following cases the amount of forbidden substance was less than the minimum legal quantity, the standard of sixty-fold is not rigidly adhered to but smaller standards e.g., of forty-seven-fold, forty-five-fold and forty-three-fold would suffice to render the mixture permitted. According to another interpretation in Rashi the reverse decision is arrived at thus: 'My father did not adopt a standard of forty-seven-fold, shall I then permit by the standard of forty-five-fold'? The case, accordingly, was of an entire olive's bulk that was cooked with permitted food.');"><sup>10</sup></span>

Sifrei Bamidbar

(Bamidbar 6:19) "And the Cohein shall take the cooked ("beshelah") shoulder of the ram": "beshelah" connotes "whole" (i.e., it is first cooked and then separated from the ram.) R. Shimon b. Yochai says: "beshelah" implies only that it must be cooked together with the ram, (but it is separated before the cooking.) "and one unleavened cake": If it were broken or part were missing, it is invalid. "and one unleavened wafer": If it were broken or part were missing it is invalid. "and he shall place them on the palms of the Nazirite after his shaving of (the head of) his Naziritism.": This is after his shaving, but the bringing of the offerings is not after his shaving.
