In a fair,if 12 generators work for 6 hours a day,then deposited oil is finished in 7 days.If generators run for 4 hours a day for 9 days,then let us find how many generators can run with out remaining amount of oil​

Let's first find the amount of oil that is deposited in one day by 12 generators working for 6 hours. Let the amount of oil deposited in one day be O:

12 generators * 6 hours/day = 72 generator-hours/day

O * 7 days = 72 generator-hours/day

O = 72/7 = 10.2857 (approximately)

So, the amount of oil deposited in one day by 12 generators working for 6 hours is approximately 10.2857.

Now let's find the amount of oil required to run the generators for 4 hours a day for 9 days. Let the amount of oil required for one generator to run for 4 hours be o:

1 generator * 4 hours/day = 4 generator-hours/day

o * 9 days * x generators = 4 generator-hours/day * 9 days * x generators

o * 9 * x = 36 * x

where x is the number of generators that can run without remaining oil.

So, the amount of oil required to run x generators for 4 hours a day for 9 days is 36x.

Since the amount of oil deposited in one day is approximately 10.2857, we can find the number of generators that can run for 9 days without remaining oil:

10.2857 * 7 days / (4 hours/day) * x generators = 36x

28.6x = 72.0

x = 2.52

Therefore, approximately 2 or 3 generators can run for 4 hours a day for 9 days without remaining oil.
