Halfway Between 5 and 38

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 38?" 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=38.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 38, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 38 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 38)/2 = 21.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 38 is 21.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 21.5 and subtract 21.5 from 38 and compare the two numbers:

21.5 - 5 = 16.5
38 - 21.5 = 16.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 16.5 higher than 5 and 16.5 lower than 38. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 21.5 above is correct.
