I just got finished at school w/ AP. Chemistry and we worked w/ the ideal gas law PV=nRT.
This is how I worked it out and I also got the same answer as you did:
PV=nRT
(3atm)(5L)=n(0.0821)(285K)
15=n(23.3985)
n=15/23.3985
n=.64moles
Well since we both got the same thing, I think we are right!!!
I hope you are enjoying the class you are taking that requires you to do problems dealing w/ the ideal gas law and you are academically successful. good luck in your endeavors and god bless you!!!

PV = nRT
P= 3 atm
V = 5 L
T = (273 +12) degrees Kelvin
r = 0.0821
3 x 5 / (0.0821 x 285) = 0.64 moles
