The rule of thumb I use for my presentations is 1 overhead per minute
of talking. I find that having overheads or other multi-media aids
makes for less boring talks than just talking straight. Note that my
audience has usually been 2nd to 4th year electrical engineering
students with short attention spans.

So, if you converted your script into overhead slides (bulleted,
point-form text using 12-14pt Helvetica), you should have roughly 45
slides.

I have a LaTeX template for overhead slides I dug out of the CTAN
archives, if you want it.
