When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 298?" 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=298.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 298, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 298 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 298)/2 = 151.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 298 is 151.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 151.5 and subtract 151.5 from 298 and compare the two numbers:
151.5 - 5 = 146.5
298 - 151.5 = 146.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 146.5 higher than 5 and 146.5 lower than 298. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 151.5 above is correct.
