When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 271?" 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=271.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 271, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 271 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 271)/2 = 138
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 271 is 138.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 138 and subtract 138 from 271 and compare the two numbers:
138 - 5 = 133
271 - 138 = 133
As you can see, the halfway number is 133 higher than 5 and 133 lower than 271. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 138 above is correct.
