Halfway Between 5 and 36

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 36?" 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=36.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 36, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 36 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 36)/2 = 20.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 36 is 20.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 20.5 and subtract 20.5 from 36 and compare the two numbers:

20.5 - 5 = 15.5
36 - 20.5 = 15.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 15.5 higher than 5 and 15.5 lower than 36. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 20.5 above is correct.
