When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 161?" 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=161.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 161, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 161 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 161)/2 = 83
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 161 is 83.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 83 and subtract 83 from 161 and compare the two numbers:
83 - 5 = 78
161 - 83 = 78
As you can see, the halfway number is 78 higher than 5 and 78 lower than 161. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 83 above is correct.
