When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 159?" 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=159.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 159, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 159 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 159)/2 = 82
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 159 is 82.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 82 and subtract 82 from 159 and compare the two numbers:
82 - 5 = 77
159 - 82 = 77
As you can see, the halfway number is 77 higher than 5 and 77 lower than 159. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 82 above is correct.
