Halfway Between 5 and 142

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 142?" 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=142.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 142, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 142 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 142)/2 = 73.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 142 is 73.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 73.5 and subtract 73.5 from 142 and compare the two numbers:

73.5 - 5 = 68.5
142 - 73.5 = 68.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 68.5 higher than 5 and 68.5 lower than 142. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 73.5 above is correct.
