When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 74?" 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=74.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 74, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 74 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 74)/2 = 39.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 74 is 39.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 39.5 and subtract 39.5 from 74 and compare the two numbers:
39.5 - 5 = 34.5
74 - 39.5 = 34.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 34.5 higher than 5 and 34.5 lower than 74. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 39.5 above is correct.
