The problem in the image provides the following matrix of products \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \) that can be processed on three machines \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \):

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
10 & 12 & 15 \\
13 & 11 & 20 \\
16 & 18 & 14
\end{bmatrix}
\]

The task is to determine, using matrix algebra, how many units of each product can be produced if the hours available on machines \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are 54, 46, and 48, respectively.

### Step 1: Matrix Setup

The matrix represents the number of units processed per hour for each product on the machines, where the rows correspond to products \( P \), \( Q \), and \( R \), and the columns correspond to machines \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).

Let this matrix be denoted as \( M \):

\[
M = \begin{bmatrix}
10 & 12 & 15 \\
13 & 11 & 20 \\
16 & 18 & 14
\end{bmatrix}
\]

The available hours on the machines \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) form a vector \( H \):

\[
H = \begin{bmatrix}
54 \\
46 \\
48
\end{bmatrix}
\]

### Step 2: Matrix Multiplication

To find the total units of each product that can be produced, we multiply the matrix \( M \) by the vector \( H \):

\[
\text{Units Produced} = M \times H
\]

Now, I will calculate the result of this matrix multiplication.The total number of units that can be produced for each product are as follows:

- Product \( P \): 1812 units
- Product \( Q \): 2168 units
- Product \( R \): 2364 units

Would you like more details on any part of this solution, or have any questions?

Here are some related questions to explore:
1. How would the result change if the available hours on machines were different?
2. What happens if a new product is introduced and added to the matrix?
3. Can we use matrix inversion to determine the machine usage per product if the total output is known?
4. How does this approach scale with more machines and products?
5. How would the analysis differ if machines had downtime or reduced efficiency?

**Tip**: Always check that your matrices are conformable (have compatible dimensions) before multiplying them.

The following matrix gives the number of units of three products (P, Q, and R) that can be processed per hour on three machines (A, B, and C). Determine, by using matrix algebra, how many units of each product can be produced if the hours available on machines A, B, and C are 54, 46, and 48, respectively.
