When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 542?" 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=542.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 542, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 542 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 542)/2 = 273.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 542 is 273.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 273.5 and subtract 273.5 from 542 and compare the two numbers:
273.5 - 5 = 268.5
542 - 273.5 = 268.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 268.5 higher than 5 and 268.5 lower than 542. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 273.5 above is correct.
