When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 60?" 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=60.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 60, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 60 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 60)/2 = 32.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 60 is 32.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 32.5 and subtract 32.5 from 60 and compare the two numbers:
32.5 - 5 = 27.5
60 - 32.5 = 27.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 27.5 higher than 5 and 27.5 lower than 60. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 32.5 above is correct.
