No. Clarice’s answer does not equal the dividend. She did not change the mixed number into an improper fraction before multiplying.

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.
