Halfway Between 5 and 22

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 22?" 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=22.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 22, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 22 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 22)/2 = 13.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 22 is 13.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 13.5 and subtract 13.5 from 22 and compare the two numbers:

13.5 - 5 = 8.5
22 - 13.5 = 8.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 8.5 higher than 5 and 8.5 lower than 22. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 13.5 above is correct.
