When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 282?" 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=282.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 282, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 282 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 282)/2 = 143.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 282 is 143.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 143.5 and subtract 143.5 from 282 and compare the two numbers:
143.5 - 5 = 138.5
282 - 143.5 = 138.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 138.5 higher than 5 and 138.5 lower than 282. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 143.5 above is correct.
