When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 162?" 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=162.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 162, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 162 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 162)/2 = 83.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 162 is 83.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 83.5 and subtract 83.5 from 162 and compare the two numbers:
83.5 - 5 = 78.5
162 - 83.5 = 78.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 78.5 higher than 5 and 78.5 lower than 162. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 83.5 above is correct.
