Halfway Between 3 and 5

When you ask "What number is halfway between 3 and 5?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=3 and Y=5.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 3 and 5, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 3 and 5 into our formula, we get:

(3 + 5)/2 = 4

Thus, the number halfway between 3 and 5 is 4.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 3 from 4 and subtract 4 from 5 and compare the two numbers:

4 - 3 = 1
5 - 4 = 1

As you can see, the halfway number is 1 higher than 3 and 1 lower than 5. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 4 above is correct.
