Thank you! I think what I was doing was the factor of 2 was for the round trip I had been calculating at first, then for some reason I forgot to take it out of the equation. So, yes, you are correct. But then I would just 7.5 x .75 and on planet B it would see 5.62 years have passed...

I think I figured it out. Still would like a double check though. All I would have to do is divide: days in a year on Earth / days in a year on Planet B 365/487 = .7494 or .75 for easiness sakes. So if time passed on ship is 6 years, then 6 x .75 = 4.5 So if time passed on Earth is 15...
