"Less" typically means "minus," thus calling for subtraction. As an example, "Forty less twenty nine" might be read 40-29.
"Less than," by contrast, might also be read "smaller than." In other words, if a problem were to ask for a number less than9, a possible solution would be any number smaller in amount than 9 (the numbers 1 through 8 for example).
