When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 398?" 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=398.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 398, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 398 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 398)/2 = 201.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 398 is 201.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 201.5 and subtract 201.5 from 398 and compare the two numbers:
201.5 - 5 = 196.5
398 - 201.5 = 196.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 196.5 higher than 5 and 196.5 lower than 398. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 201.5 above is correct.
