Halfway Between 5 and 296

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 296?" 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=296.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 296, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 296 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 296)/2 = 150.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 296 is 150.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 150.5 and subtract 150.5 from 296 and compare the two numbers:

150.5 - 5 = 145.5
296 - 150.5 = 145.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 145.5 higher than 5 and 145.5 lower than 296. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 150.5 above is correct.
