Calculating fuel required for a 3 degree approach landing, please help!

I have a fictional assignment to create a flight plan from Heathrow-Glasgow airport in a Beech 1900c aircraft and am using the ILS 06 approach for Glasgow which has a recommended 3 degree glide path but im not sure how to calculate the fuel for this part as we have been provided with a POH but the only performance charts for fuel to descend are for a descent rate of 1500ft/min so how do i calculate it for approx 550ft/min (3 degree path). I would really appreciate some help as this is the only part that is stumping me. Thanks!
