Halfway Between 5 and 26

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 26?" 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=26.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 26, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 26 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 26)/2 = 15.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 26 is 15.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 15.5 and subtract 15.5 from 26 and compare the two numbers:

15.5 - 5 = 10.5
26 - 15.5 = 10.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 10.5 higher than 5 and 10.5 lower than 26. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 15.5 above is correct.
