125 minutes, or 2 hours and 5 minutes.

\frac{5}7 = \frac{x}{175}
cross multiply
5*175=7x
875=7x
\frac{875}7=x
125=x

Set up a proportion pages/pages= minutes/ minutes
7/175=5/x 
Note: x is the unkown variable or how long it will take him to read a 175 page book.
--Now do the math-- or cross multiply-- 
7(x)=175(5) 
reduce it down
7(x)=875
divide both sides by 7 in order to get variable x alone
x=125 
So it will take Jose 125 minutes to read the entire 175 page book.

Answer: 912

===================================

Work Shown:

The starting term is a1 = 3. The common difference is d = 5 (since we add 5 to each term to get the next term). The nth term formula is

an = a1+d(n-1)

an = 3+5(n-1)

an = 3+5n-5

an = 5n-2

Plug n = 19 into the formula to find the 19th term

an = 5n-2

a19 = 5*19-2

a19 = 95-2

a19 = 93

Add the first and nineteenth terms (a1 = 3 and a19 = 93) to get a1+a19 = 3+93 = 96

Multiply this by n/2 = 19/2 = 9.5 to get the final answer

96*9.5 = 912

I used the formula

Sn = (n/2)*(a1 + an)

where you add the first term (a1) to the nth term (an), then multiply by n/2

-----------------

As a check, here are the 19 terms listed out and added up. We get 912 like expected.

3+8+13+18   +23+28+33+38    +43+48+53+58    +63+68+73+78   +83+88+93 = 912

There are 19 values being added up in that equation above. I used spaces to help group the values (groups of four; except the last group which is 3 values) so it's a bit more readable.
