Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. The school is having a book-a-thon. The winning class gets a pizza party. The fifth grade has 20 students and one week to read as much as possible. The 6th grade already finished and read a total of 299 hours. How many hours does each student in 5th grade need to average per day to beat them by 1?

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

The class needs to read 300 hours in a week because 299 + 1 = 300. The class needs to read 60 hours a day because 300 / 5 = 60. Each student needs to read 3 hours a day because 60 / 20 = 3.
The final answer: 3.
