When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 400?" 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=400.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 400, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 400 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 400)/2 = 202.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 400 is 202.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 202.5 and subtract 202.5 from 400 and compare the two numbers:
202.5 - 5 = 197.5
400 - 202.5 = 197.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 197.5 higher than 5 and 197.5 lower than 400. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 202.5 above is correct.
