When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 32?" 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=32.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 32, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 32 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 32)/2 = 18.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 32 is 18.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 18.5 and subtract 18.5 from 32 and compare the two numbers:
18.5 - 5 = 13.5
32 - 18.5 = 13.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 13.5 higher than 5 and 13.5 lower than 32. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 18.5 above is correct.
