Halfway Between 5 and 17

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 17?" 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=17.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 17, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 17 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 17)/2 = 11

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 17 is 11.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 11 and subtract 11 from 17 and compare the two numbers:

11 - 5 = 6
17 - 11 = 6

As you can see, the halfway number is 6 higher than 5 and 6 lower than 17. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 11 above is correct.
