okay so this is my comp sci lab

Problem:

*ProductionTime.py It takes exactly 2 minutes and 7 second to produce an
item. Unfortunately, after 143 items are produced, the fabricator must
cool off for 5 minutes and 13 seconds before it can continue. Write a
program that will calculate the amount of time required to manufacture a
given number of items. *

Output:

*Output the amount of time D days HH:MM:SS *

Sample Input :

*

numItems =1340 Represents the numbers items to be manufactured

*

Sample Output :

*

2 days 00:03:17

this is the coding i have written for it!

numitems= int(raw_input("Enter the number of items needed to be
manufactured:"))
seconds=numitems*127
m, s = divmod(seconds, 60)
h, m = divmod(m, 60)
print "%d:%02d:%02d" % (h, m, s)

but how would i add the 5 min and 13 seconds after 143 items have been
produced???
For any given number of item, how many cool-down periods do you have in total?
What's the prodcution time without cooling?
