Calculate how much 10% acid solution and how much pure acid must be mixed to end up with exactly 12 liters of 30% acid solution. Rounding to the nearest hundredth of a liter, you'll need ____ liters of the pure acid. Type in your numerical answer only; do not type any words or letters with your answer.
