Jerald timed himself and found that it takes him 3 minutes and 4 seconds to read a page of the book assigned by his English teacher. He has to read from page 32 to page 143 in the next three days. Which of these is the best estimate for the number of hours it will take him to complete the reading assignment?

I do 143-32=111 pages he has to read in 3 days
a hour is 60 minutes so 60/3=20 pages a hour so around 5hour and 30mins?
