1. Using this table calculate mass of 6 litres 85 % formic acid.
2. Calculate mass of formic acid within it's solution.
3. Similiar as in 1. and 2. calculate mass of 1 litre of 65 % formic acid and mass of formic acid itself.
4. Now that you know how much formic acid is in 6 litres of 85 % solution, you can calculate how many litres of 65 % solution you can obtain.
