When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 286?" 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=286.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 286, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 286 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 286)/2 = 145.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 286 is 145.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 145.5 and subtract 145.5 from 286 and compare the two numbers:
145.5 - 5 = 140.5
286 - 145.5 = 140.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 140.5 higher than 5 and 140.5 lower than 286. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 145.5 above is correct.
