Okay this is undoubtably a really simple question but it has been so long that I have forgotten the procedure so ya: You have a space ship with a grand total of 20,302 shield "health points" and it has a recharge rate of (as in the speed of which it will naturally replenish to full) of 330 seconds. To determine the recharge rate per second of the ship would it be divide both sides of the equation by 330?

You could set it up as a simple algebraic expression (20302 = 330x). You just divide 20302 by 330. The rate is 61.52 points per second. Assuming it's a linear recharge rate.

When in doubt, I always set X=Y and draw a happy face next to the question. It's usually good for partial credit

When I clinked on aspectre's link, I got this message: quote: Norton Internet Security has blocked access to this Web site because it matches the Occult/New Age category for blocked Web site. Hmmm...maybe I need to re-visit my parental control settings.

I was able to go to the link aspectre gave, but it made Firefox crash. Twice.
