question
Can this handle three microphones?t
No, only one mic is supported on channel 1 (mono). It always has +15 volt phantom power on it (can't be turned off on this model) so don't try to use it with an unbalanced mic or with a ribbon mic. The other inputs are line-level. If you had an external mic preamp you could use those inputs with microphones.

question
What would I have to buy to make this work ? I have the mixer, a 48v phantom power supply, and a set of cables. One set of cables can connect the microphone to the power supply as the input, and the other singular cable serves as the output so the computer can recognize the supply. Wat cables are required to actually use the mixer itself ?
This should really be done with an interface. That being said we will work with what you have. The mic if its a condenser. Take the mic cable and plug one end in the mic and the other into the phantom power supply. Then take another XLR out of the phantom power supply and plug it in the mic input of your mixer. Now to get the mixer into your computer you should be using an interface. But you dont have one so we will have to do this the only way possible. You will need a Y cable. Two RCA males to one 3.5mm male. The B and H part number is B&H # HOYCRTRSRCA6. To the right of the mic EQ you will see 4 RCAs that say Tape Out. Plug the Y cable into the 2 RCAs that say out and the 3.5mm into your computer.

Would this work with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 as my USB connection? I teach online and want to mix in background music from an ipad into my Zoom calls.
Yes, the Mackie Mix5 - 5-Channel Compact Mixer could be used to receive background music from an iPad and then send its signal out to the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface, which may allow for more level control over the music. In theory you could also connect the iPad's audio output directly to the Scarlett with the proper cable.
