    The correct answer is: 60.0 g acetic acid and 40.0 g water

    Explanation:

    The percentage in mass (% by mass) is expressed as follows:

    % by mass = % m/m = grams of solute/100 g solution

    If the solution of acetic acid is 60.0% by mass, that means that there are 60 grams of solute (acetic acid) in 100 grams of solution. Besides, a solution is composed by solute and solvent (water). If there are 60 grams of solute, there are 40.0 grams of solvent (water) in 100 grams of solution.

    So, the solution contains 60.0 g acetic acid and 40.0 g water.
