Answer 2

$\dfrac{25}{2}\%$ less than 16 hours is 14 hours.

Tips:

First find the percentage value of the given amount or value. Then read the question carefully to find which operation or operations are to be done.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, $\dfrac{25}{2}\%$ of 16 hours

= $16\times\dfrac{\dfrac{25}{2}}{100}$ hours

= $\dfrac{16\times 25}{2\times 100}$ hours

= 2 hours

Now, the time $\dfrac{25}{2}\%$ less than 16 hours

= total time - $\dfrac{25}{2}\%$ of total time

= 16 - 2 hours

• since $\dfrac{25}{2}\%$ of 16 hours is 2 hours

= 14 hours
