You could do something like this:

Code:
case $i in
        [0-9])
                echo Period=10
                ;;
        1[0-5])
                echo Period-15
                ;;
        1[6-9])
                echo Period=20
                ;;
        2[0-9])
                echo Period=30
                ;;
        [3-5][0-9])
                echo Period=60
                ;;
        *)
                echo Period*
                ;;
esac
