When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 272?" 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=272.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 272, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 272 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 272)/2 = 138.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 272 is 138.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 138.5 and subtract 138.5 from 272 and compare the two numbers:
138.5 - 5 = 133.5
272 - 138.5 = 133.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 133.5 higher than 5 and 133.5 lower than 272. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 138.5 above is correct.
