Pure Acetic Acid has a freezing point of 260 K or 16.5 degrees. Hence at room temperature it is often in a frozen state. This gives the look of ice like crystals to it, reminding us of glaciers found in cold mountaneous regions. Hence the name glacial acetic acid.

If 15.0 of glacial acetic acid is diluted to 1.40 with water what is the of the resulting solution the density of glacial acetic acid is 1.05?

You are leaving out some vital information here. Numbers have no applicability to chemical problems unless they have units attached. So, you could have 15.0 milliliters of glacial acetic acid, or 15.0 moles of glacial acetic acid, or 15.0 grams of glacial acetic acid, but you can't have 15.0 of glacial acetic acid, it doesn't mean anything. You have three different numbers in the above question, with no units attached to any of them. Numbers must have units.
