Halfway Between 5 and 126

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 126?" 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=126.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 126, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 126 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 126)/2 = 65.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 126 is 65.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 65.5 and subtract 65.5 from 126 and compare the two numbers:

65.5 - 5 = 60.5
126 - 65.5 = 60.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 60.5 higher than 5 and 60.5 lower than 126. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 65.5 above is correct.
