Solution Steps

To find the total number of items produced in one month, calculate the number of items produced per day and then multiply by the number of days in a month. First, determine the daily production by multiplying the hourly production rate by the number of hours in a day. Then, multiply the daily production by the number of days in a month.

Step 1: Calculate Daily Production

The assembly line produces \(20\) items per hour. Given that it runs for \(24\) hours a day, the daily production can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Daily Production} = 20 \, \text{items/hour} \times 24 \, \text{hours/day} = 480 \, \text{items/day} \]

Step 2: Calculate Monthly Production

To find the total production in one month (assuming \(30\) days in a month), we multiply the daily production by the number of days:

\[ \text{Monthly Production} = 480 \, \text{items/day} \times 30 \, \text{days} = 14400 \, \text{items} \]

Final Answer

The total number of items produced by the machine in one month is \(\boxed{14400}\).
