How to solve Algebra Word problems?

We are given that;

Amount of paper clips machine can make in an hour = 300 paper clips

Amount of strings the machine can make in an hour = 360 strings

Now, the machine starts working at 1pm and makes 450 paper clips.

Thus, time taken = 450/360 = 1.25 hours

This is at 2:15 pm

By 6pm, time taken would be 6:00 - 2:15 = 3:45 or 3.75 hours

Thus, number of springs made = 360/3.75 = 96 springs
