Halfway Between 5 and 166

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 166?" 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=166.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 166, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 166 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 166)/2 = 85.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 166 is 85.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 85.5 and subtract 85.5 from 166 and compare the two numbers:

85.5 - 5 = 80.5
166 - 85.5 = 80.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 80.5 higher than 5 and 80.5 lower than 166. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 85.5 above is correct.
