How many seconds am I supposed to be able to breathe in?

I tried doing the 4-7-8 deep breathing exercises and noticed I mostly breathe in at around 3 1/2 seconds inhaling though my nose slowly. If I inhale through my mouth i get to 5 1/2 seconds, almost 6 1/2 if I try really hard and breathe slow. Is this normal for a woman? I am using a stopwatch to record. I don't have a cold.
