English term or phrase: if that
Hi all -

I have to ask a very basic as I am getting a conflict from two native speakers on this one:
how does one best translate into standard Spanish the following phrase:
"if that"

The context:
"It took me 15 mins to read that article, if that."

Which is correct:
"si tanto"
"si mucho"
A non-native suggested, "así tanto"

Thanks!
