When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 284?" 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=284.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 284, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 284 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 284)/2 = 144.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 284 is 144.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 144.5 and subtract 144.5 from 284 and compare the two numbers:
144.5 - 5 = 139.5
284 - 144.5 = 139.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 139.5 higher than 5 and 139.5 lower than 284. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 144.5 above is correct.
