Halfway Between 5 and 11

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 11?" 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=11.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 11, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 11 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 11)/2 = 8

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 11 is 8.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 8 and subtract 8 from 11 and compare the two numbers:

8 - 5 = 3
11 - 8 = 3

As you can see, the halfway number is 3 higher than 5 and 3 lower than 11. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 8 above is correct.
