When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 218?" 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=218.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 218, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 218 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 218)/2 = 111.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 218 is 111.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 111.5 and subtract 111.5 from 218 and compare the two numbers:
111.5 - 5 = 106.5
218 - 111.5 = 106.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 106.5 higher than 5 and 106.5 lower than 218. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 111.5 above is correct.
