When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 68?" 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=68.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 68, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 68 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 68)/2 = 36.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 68 is 36.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 36.5 and subtract 36.5 from 68 and compare the two numbers:
36.5 - 5 = 31.5
68 - 36.5 = 31.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 31.5 higher than 5 and 31.5 lower than 68. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 36.5 above is correct.
