aaronq · Answer

find how many grams there are in 1.2 L of solution,  $\rho_{solution}=\dfrac{m_{solution}}{V_{solution}}$

then, by multiplying the total mass (of the solution) by acetic acid's mass percent, you find how much mass of acetic acid there actually is.

     $Mass\%_{Acetic\;acid}*m_{solution}=m_{Acetic\;Acid}$
