You can do this one of two ways, both using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
pH = pKa + log(base)/(acid).
You CAN simply substitute 60 for base and 40 for acid and solve OR, if that is a little confusing, you can assume some convenient volume of acetic acid (say 50 mL or something like that), neutralize 60% of that, calculate base concn and acid concn and substitute. The fraction will always turn out to be 6/4 for the 60/40 ratio.
