When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 248?" 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=248.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 248, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 248 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 248)/2 = 126.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 248 is 126.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 126.5 and subtract 126.5 from 248 and compare the two numbers:
126.5 - 5 = 121.5
248 - 126.5 = 121.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 121.5 higher than 5 and 121.5 lower than 248. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 126.5 above is correct.
