When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 240?" 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=240.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 240, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 240 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 240)/2 = 122.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 240 is 122.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 122.5 and subtract 122.5 from 240 and compare the two numbers:
122.5 - 5 = 117.5
240 - 122.5 = 117.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 117.5 higher than 5 and 117.5 lower than 240. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 122.5 above is correct.
