Halfway Between 5 and 285

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 285?" 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=285.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 285, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 285 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 285)/2 = 145

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 285 is 145.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 145 and subtract 145 from 285 and compare the two numbers:

145 - 5 = 140
285 - 145 = 140

As you can see, the halfway number is 140 higher than 5 and 140 lower than 285. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 145 above is correct.
