When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 408?" 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=408.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 408, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 408 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 408)/2 = 206.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 408 is 206.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 206.5 and subtract 206.5 from 408 and compare the two numbers:
206.5 - 5 = 201.5
408 - 206.5 = 201.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 201.5 higher than 5 and 201.5 lower than 408. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 206.5 above is correct.
