When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 84?" 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=84.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 84, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 84 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 84)/2 = 44.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 84 is 44.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 44.5 and subtract 44.5 from 84 and compare the two numbers:
44.5 - 5 = 39.5
84 - 44.5 = 39.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 39.5 higher than 5 and 39.5 lower than 84. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 44.5 above is correct.
