When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 270?" 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=270.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 270, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 270 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 270)/2 = 137.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 270 is 137.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 137.5 and subtract 137.5 from 270 and compare the two numbers:
137.5 - 5 = 132.5
270 - 137.5 = 132.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 132.5 higher than 5 and 132.5 lower than 270. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 137.5 above is correct.
