Halfway Between 5 and 24

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 24?" 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=24.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 24, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 24 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 24)/2 = 14.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 24 is 14.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 14.5 and subtract 14.5 from 24 and compare the two numbers:

14.5 - 5 = 9.5
24 - 14.5 = 9.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 9.5 higher than 5 and 9.5 lower than 24. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 14.5 above is correct.
