When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 98?" 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=98.
To find the number halfway between 5 and 98, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 5 and 98 into our formula, we get:
(5 + 98)/2 = 51.5
Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 98 is 51.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 51.5 and subtract 51.5 from 98 and compare the two numbers:
51.5 - 5 = 46.5
98 - 51.5 = 46.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 46.5 higher than 5 and 46.5 lower than 98. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 51.5 above is correct.
