When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 236?" 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=236.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 236, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 236 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 236)/2 = 120.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 236 is 120.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 120.5 and subtract 120.5 from 236 and compare the two numbers:
120.5 - 5 = 115.5
236 - 120.5 = 115.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 115.5 higher than 5 and 115.5 lower than 236. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 120.5 above is correct.
