When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 79?" 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=79.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 79, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 79 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 79)/2 = 42
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 79 is 42.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 42 and subtract 42 from 79 and compare the two numbers:
42 - 5 = 37
79 - 42 = 37
As you can see, the halfway number is 37 higher than 5 and 37 lower than 79. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 42 above is correct.
