When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 288?" 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=288.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 288, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 288 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 288)/2 = 146.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 288 is 146.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 146.5 and subtract 146.5 from 288 and compare the two numbers:
146.5 - 5 = 141.5
288 - 146.5 = 141.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 141.5 higher than 5 and 141.5 lower than 288. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 146.5 above is correct.
