Well, I would assume that your "3.0" means 3 miles per hour, so it would take you an hour to walk 3 miles, and another 40 minutes for another 2 miles. Therefore, I would say that that would be 1 hour and 40 minutes to walk 5 miles.
Of course, as you work on it, you will be able to up your speed, if distance is your only goal. As someone else mentioned, if you have adjustable incline, you can modify your incline and pace to ramp up your exercise.

Thank you for your support!

If a train leave Chicago, traveling east at 20 miles per hour and a train leaves New York, travelling west at 35 miles per hour, when will they meet?
Ya gotta do the math. 3.0 mph means you walk a mile every 20 minutes. Multiply that by 5 and you get an hour and 40 minutes on the treadmill to walk 5 miles.

I remember those train story problems in Algebra classes while I was in college!
One time the instructor drew one line on the chalkboard and then drew trains facing each other on each end of the line. When she asked the class how long it would take for the trains to "meet", I replied that those trains would not actually "meet"; those would actually collide head-on! Ouch!

The others are correct. 3 miles in one hour would equal 1 mile in 20 minutes. Therefore, 5 miles multiplied by 20 minutes would make 100 minutes or 1 hour and 40 minutes.
