To find the amount of pure acid to add, set up an equation based on the amount of acid in the original solution and the final solution. Let x be the amount of pure acid to add. The amount of acid in the original solution is 0.4 × 12 = 4.8 ounces. The amount of acid in the final solution is 0.6 × (12 + x) = 4.8 + 0.6x ounces. Therefore, to get a 60% acid solution, you would need to add 10.67 ounces of pure acid.
