I have some fuel with a 32:1 mixture from my Toro mower left. My snow
blower uses a 50:1 mixture. If I measure the quantity of the leftover
gas/oil mixture, is there a simple way of determining how much 2 cycle
oil to add to it to change it to a 50:1 mixture?
Yes, I know I can run the snow blower on a 32:1 mixture, but it is an
old Jacobsen "Snowburst" that's hard enough to start without changing
the flash point of the fuel.

Anybody who needs the answer to this and has ever complained to a math
teacher "But I'll never need to know any of this in real life" will receive
fifty lashes with a wet noodle.
