Responsa for Zevachim 160:1
ועוד תניא בהדיא הניתנין למעלה שנתערבו בניתנין למטה רבי אליעזר אומר יתן למעלה והתחתונים עלו לו
<br> Moreover, it was explicitly taught: If [blood] which is applied above was mixed with [blood] that is applied below, R. Eliezer said: He must sprinkle [it] above, and the lower [blood] acquits him. But if you say that there is no even distribution, why does it acquit him? perhaps he sprinkled the upper [blood] below and the lower [blood] above? - The case we discuss here is where we have an excess of upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower [blood] plus a little more. But he teaches that the lower [blood] acquits him? - [It counts] as the residue. <br>
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. Dough of a Gentile [which is exempt from the law of Hallah] was mixed with a piece of dough belonging to a Jew which by itself, was sufficient to become subject to the law of Hallah. How can the Jew take Hallah for, or from, the mixture?
A. In order to make sure that he takes Hallah from dough that is subject to that law, the Jew must take as Hallah a piece that is larger than the Gentile's dough.
SOURCES: Cr. 40; Pr. 423; P. 225; cf. Am I, 59.
