When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 118?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=5 and Y=118.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 118, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 118 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 118)/2 = 61.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 118 is 61.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 61.5 and subtract 61.5 from 118 and compare the two numbers:
61.5 - 5 = 56.5
118 - 61.5 = 56.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 56.5 higher than 5 and 56.5 lower than 118. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 61.5 above is correct.
