Halfway Between 5 and 120

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 120?" 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=120.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 120, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 120 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 120)/2 = 62.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 120 is 62.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 62.5 and subtract 62.5 from 120 and compare the two numbers:

62.5 - 5 = 57.5
120 - 62.5 = 57.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 57.5 higher than 5 and 57.5 lower than 120. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 62.5 above is correct.
