You need to make 225 and 187.5 into a fraction like 187.5/225 then compare that to ?/100 to that you need to figure out what 225 divided by 100 is then divide that answer by 187.5. 225/100=2.25 187.5 divided by 2.25 is 83.3. 100- 83.3= 16.7 percent. You're right if you round it

The amount of water decreases $16\frac{1}{2}$ pints in 12 weeks.

Solution:

The amount of water decreases in 7 weeks = $9\frac{5}{8}$ pints

The amount of water decreases each week is same.

Let us first change the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$9\frac{5}{8}$ pints = $\frac{(9\times8)+5}{8}$

$=\frac{77}{8}$ pints

The amount of water decreases in 1 week

$$=\frac{\frac{77}{8} }{7}$

$=\frac{77}{8\times7}$

$=\frac{11}{8}$

So, the amount of water decreases in 1 week is $\frac{11}{8}$ pints.

The amount of water decreases in 12 week

$=\frac{11}{8}\times12$

$=\frac{132}{8}$

$=16\frac{4}{8}$

$=16\frac{1}{2}$ pints

Hence the amount of water decreases $16\frac{1}{2}$ pints in 12 weeks.
