okay so if the question had been the number of atoms in Cl₂ then I would have muliplied 1.5 by two right?

Absolutely correct!

I used to think of mole as similar to the term dozen.

For example:

If you had a bowl with two apples in it apple₂ and you had 1 dozen bowls you would have 24 apples, right?

1 dozen (12) apple₂ = 24 apples
1 mole (6.02 x 10²³) Cl₂ = 12.04 x 10²³ Cl atoms

hmmm, now that I write this I am not sure if anyone will understand, let me know if this is a good analogy or not

That's a good analogy!  Thanks for sharing
