When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 540?" 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=540.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 540, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 540 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 540)/2 = 272.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 540 is 272.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 272.5 and subtract 272.5 from 540 and compare the two numbers:
272.5 - 5 = 267.5
540 - 272.5 = 267.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 267.5 higher than 5 and 267.5 lower than 540. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 272.5 above is correct.
