Halfway Between 5 and 260

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 260?" 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=260.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 260, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 260 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 260)/2 = 132.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 260 is 132.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 132.5 and subtract 132.5 from 260 and compare the two numbers:

132.5 - 5 = 127.5
260 - 132.5 = 127.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 127.5 higher than 5 and 127.5 lower than 260. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 132.5 above is correct.
