When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 170?" 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=170.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 170, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 170 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 170)/2 = 87.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 170 is 87.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 87.5 and subtract 87.5 from 170 and compare the two numbers:
87.5 - 5 = 82.5
170 - 87.5 = 82.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 82.5 higher than 5 and 82.5 lower than 170. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 87.5 above is correct.
