Halfway Between 5 and 14

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 14?" 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=14.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 14, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 14 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 14)/2 = 9.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 14 is 9.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 9.5 and subtract 9.5 from 14 and compare the two numbers:

9.5 - 5 = 4.5
14 - 9.5 = 4.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 4.5 higher than 5 and 4.5 lower than 14. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 9.5 above is correct.
