Halfway Between 5 and 402

When you ask "What number is halfway between 5 and 402?" 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=402.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 5 and 402, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 5 and 402 into our formula, we get:

(5 + 402)/2 = 203.5

Thus, the number halfway between 5 and 402 is 203.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 5 from 203.5 and subtract 203.5 from 402 and compare the two numbers:

203.5 - 5 = 198.5
402 - 203.5 = 198.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 198.5 higher than 5 and 198.5 lower than 402. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 203.5 above is correct.
