Halfway Between 5 and 168

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 168?" 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=168.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 168, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 168 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 168)/2 = 86.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 168 is 86.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 86.5 and subtract 86.5 from 168 and compare the two numbers:

86.5 - 5 = 81.5
168 - 86.5 = 81.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 81.5 higher than 5 and 81.5 lower than 168. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 86.5 above is correct.
