No Clarice could not verify her answer since she was supposed to get 7 1/2 as a result in her multiplication. Clarice did the multiplication wrong since she should've multiplied 5 by 1 giving her 5 then 5 by 1/2 giving her 2 1/2 and add them giving her 7 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(7 1/2)/1 1/2=5

5*1 1/2=5 1/2
