Halfway Between 5 and 255

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 255?" 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=255.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 255, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 255 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 255)/2 = 130

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 255 is 130.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 130 and subtract 130 from 255 and compare the two numbers:

130 - 5 = 125
255 - 130 = 125

As you can see, the halfway number is 125 higher than 5 and 125 lower than 255. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 130 above is correct.
